Beautiful spot for a picnic by the lake. Two parking areas; one for dropping in a boat, the other for day use. There’s a half mile trail loop at the end of the day use parking lot. Wide lawn, a few picnic tables, calm lake inlet to splash around in. Great place for the family. The best time to visit is summer.
