Boater Reviews
Great place to go out fishing... I spent a huge part of summer out here with my kids and it was clean and well kept and peaceful...
My dog loves to roam around following his nose at the park here, and it's remote and generally lightly populated enough for him to run without a lead for a bit. It's a very nice place for a picnic or impromptu lunch spot foTwenny minutes or so.
Be a better place if it was cleaner! Find some way to locate whos trashing the property
Quiet, peaceful, and full of fun things to do with the family.

Idk where the $ is going,but it’s sure not being put into that area.i picked up two small bags of trash,& gave up. I took some pics, but can’t figure out how to add them on here.
