this is by far the most relaxing and rejuvenating place to escape for the weekend. the water is the perfect temp, it's big enough that you don't have to be right next to people, the boat rentals are reasonably priced and very nice and the crew is all very friendly. especially Eric teague.

Nice not overpopulated spot respectful people clean bathrooms with hot showers can ask for words if you're wanting to camp without being a pampered baby

A bit dusty but love the place. Don't like the parking rules. But the bathrooms and grounds are kept clean. The garbage trucks come by and keep that clean. The Lagoon was the place to be to beat the heat. Going back the same time next year! It was 15 of us this time next time, more!

Great launch ramp, only problem is people blocking ramp and docks because they either have no common sense, no respect for others or are just clueless. Wished they would watch the process from a distance until they understand the process.. It's really simple. Prep your boat before getting on or off the ramp. Load your boat with ice chests and supplies before entering the ramp. Loading boat and securing items for travel are NOT to be done on the ramp. Keep your boat, trailer and vehicle off the launch lanes until your trailer is ready to launch or retrieve ur boat from the water. 😲😲😲 All fish were successfully released back into the lake👍

Load or unload your boat before entering the ramp. Back your trailer into the water and either load or unload ur boat, attach your safety chain and RAISE YOUR OUTDRIVE and thenGET OFF the ramp.
