They don't tell you at check in, and I can't find anything on the website about it, and there are no bear boxes...so BEAR WARNING!

Beautiful, clean water reservoir surrounded by majestic pine trees. Don't like it how some call it a lake, definitely not one, its a man made reservoir.

Go mid week to avoid the crowds/noise. Boat rentals! Small aluminum boats. Beach is rocky (small rocks). Wear river shoes.
