We took the two hour tour of the lake and it was excellent. We didn't have any problems getting on-board during the week but I could foresee crowds at other times; plan ahead. There was nearly non-stop commentary about the history of the lake and stories on families and homes around the shore. We stayed on the top open air... More

The lake is beautiful however the weather is variable in mid-April. The wind and rain that we faced was crazy but did add an interesting effect with the white capping water. More
