This lake is only ten minutes from where I live so I am a frequent visitor! And I'm a huge fan too. I moved to Tennesse from a rural part of Kentucky, smack dab in the Appalachian mountains, and I've really missed having nature right out my back door. However, this lake does well to really satiate my cravings for a little sunshine and singing birds! The weather has slowly been getting better and better and I love running up there and reading under a tree or just sitting on a rock by the lake and soaking up some sun. I haven't been here for the summer lake time, but I have a feeling I'll be taking a plundge into it when that time does come! I can imagine this being an awesome hang out for the whole family and a great place to brings a picnic blanket and just relax. It has always been so clean, I'm not even sure I have ever seen litter there!...

Wow! Just wow!!
Beautiful and peaceful! Can’t ask for more, especially if you’re on your lunch break like I was. I ate some fruits and walked around, so beutiful!!!
Make sure if you walk into the woods that you’re extra careful, there is snakes and other reptiles.
But other than that I enjoyed it a lot! Will definitely continue to come back.
Only issue I found was sometimes there’s not parking, but it’s a normal with everything that’s amazing and beautiful.
Well worth it! I hope you...
