Strange beach-like location, signage says no swimming allowed and that the water is unsanitary but yet they have a small section designated for swimmers in the water and a lifeguard stationed. Trash floats in the water and it's often extremely busy. The couple plus' to this location is the boat rentals with a variety of vessel types. Parking isn't overly expensive if you can find a spot but the boat rentals are a bit pricey compared to the local average.

Recommended for boat rentals only, swimming should be done up the lake further away...
