My little diggers having fun in the sand 🥰This is her favorite lake to go and chill at! One of her top fav spots to view the waves and meet cool people traveling thru! Always clean. Added in portapottys and a trash can this year. Easy parking easy walking. About 20 feet from car is the waves :) Go check out the beauty we're blessed with! Usually yah see younger adults and common beach walkers here. Everyone's friendly and respectful. I've left things lay and no one messes with stuff here. Everyone's respectful there. If yah see us out there come hear the story of the traveling bunny whose had grass in 14 states! I've never seen something so excited to go "dig" at the lake! So precious!...
