Good trails, although caution needs to be taken now with the coyotes. Beach is fine in the summer but rarely open.

Small enough to find everything right away but large enough to have things to do , though the little beach is a very nice place to spend the afternoon

A good place for events and camping. The forest trail in the northern section is nice for a long walk with your dog.

Nice place for picnics and camping. Very well kept. The only problem is that the lake has this green moss overgrowth in the summer, due to the heat and I think the numerous waterfowl and at some point the water doesn't feel so clean. We rented a canoe and had a very good time.

This one of the smaller lakes that I have had a lot of fun over the years. From boating to fishing, bar b q, picnics, to having a friendly or family gathering. Some swimming also, a place for all ages.

It's nice that you don't have to drive for hours to find natural swimming, good sized campsites and serenity.

We stayed in the Lower Beachside Campground. The post-11pm curfew wasn't enforced, complained but no one came around patrolling after 11pm, let alone to quiet down our neighbors, who carried on well past midnight. They DID patrol three times after the checkout time on Sunday afternoon. I guess looking for squatters is easier than dealing with enforcing the rules. The... More
