"We walk here often with our dogs. They love to swim."
"If you want to walk a path, take some photos, or just relax, the lake is a place to go."
"We had a ton of fun at the beach! Only 3 dollars a person to get in, not too busy on a Sunday in August. Very nice park near the beach. Nice little spot to get food and snacks, lots of space and seating. Staff eas very friendly. Overall a great place to take the kiddos for an afternoon of beach time. We will definitely be visiting again!"
"The road around the Lake and through the park has a lot of repairs needed. We only spent an hour in the playground as there is no shade at high noon. I plan to return when there is some shade. We checked out the beach. At $3/person it's a steal. I definitely need to go back for the beach. You can bring in outside food and drinks and there is a snack shop with food."
