Cons: Found what I believe is a water hemlock on the shore, be careful with your children and pets... See attached pictures. Visibility varies between a few feet to about 10 feet. So if you like to swim in a crystal clear lake, then this lake may not be for you for most of the daylight hours.
Pros: You are guaranteed either a front row view of sunrise or sunset. Swimming and other water recreation activities can be carried out on the lake. So remember to pack with this in mind. Bring a fishing rod or two, don't forget to get a fishing license if you are not a child or a senior. Water birds can be seen at this lake. For hikers and mountain bikers, there is a variety of different riding or walking surfaces (tarred and gravel roads, and trails) to explore.
