Always a must do! We were visiting from Colorado Springs and we love going to the reservoir for fishing and walking. It is very beautiful!

Worth a drive, the view is awesome. We just happened to be on this route to another destination and took the family back again to look around. Lots of bicyclers and hikers on a fairly narrow road so be extra careful. The places to pull off and look charge a fee but worth looking around.

My cousin and I love kayaking here. It's fun whenever there are speedboats or jetskis passing by...it creates waves which makes kayaking more exciting. Kayaked to 2 Coves and it was beautiful. We kayaked further and further whenever we come here, it's a nice lake to explore. Parking is $7 and there're plenty of them even on weekend. There are picnic tables, camping sites around the area. You can rent kayak and paddle boards here too.
