During the summer, the lake is perfect for swimming, as long as blue-green algae doesn’t take over. The rocks are a stunning backdrop on some of the lake, and perfect for casual exploration.

Fishing of course, is one of their most popular activities, but they also have sand volleyball, bike trails, and basketball.

In the fall, the trees around the lake brighten to red and yellow hues, making the brown grass fit right in. It’s also a great season to see deer and other fall wildlife you might have missed in the spring and summer.
