I lived here from 1961 - 1976. Great memories. Beautiful areas. Variety of weather even happens at the same time often.

I'll tell the truth tho this lake is a tourist trap all the restaurants in town are over priced and food just fills the void I can get 10x better tasting food back home for 12$ a plate I will never go back to this...
