Beautiful place, you can take your dogs with you, hiking around lake. Nice people there, too. 5/15/ 2020. They have made it nicer, cutting back brush, but only downfall is they no longer have restrooms there. Why? I don't know.

It was a little dark when we arrived but still light enough out to get a picture at the swing and see the gorgeous view of the lake. We'll definitely be back during the day!

Nothing biting today. Just caught 1 snapping turtle. Have caught nice catfish. Miss the handicap spot.

Nice place to fish. Very clean thanks to some old timers that get there early every morning and pick everyone else's trash up. I try to do my part as well. Would give it 5 stars except the person who mows the grass blows it right into the lake. Many people complain about it but it continues to happen.

However,though the need to put drain ditches on the bottom trail around lake to dry it up. I noticed they are startin to put them on front side but the back side needs it worse a lot of people like me can't walk up hills and they need the flat straight around the lake...
