    Birmingham weather in March is widely unpredictable but this day was lovely, there was a comforting swell as the water rushed to the shore- families were already out on the water fishing though there was a slight chill in the wind. As usual environment was clean and peaceful- used the time for studying and just getting some fresh air. Bathrooms needs some work.

    🌟Top Rated Reviewer🌟 Great spot for a nice day on the lake! Boats were easy to rent and staff was very friendly. John boats with motors were 60/3hrs and paddle crafts were 20. Lots of space, not crowded at all. Must be good fishing, too! 🎣 We saw a lot of angles along the shore. Great day on the water! 🌞 ❤️🙏if helpful, thanks! 🙂

    Mike was very nice and Evelyn was very helpful and knowledgeable of fishing equipment. She helped me find the correct hook I needed. Definitely will be returning!

    Staff was great and very helpful getting us loaded onto our boat. Tough day for fishing and lake depths in areas made it a little tougher. Will wait until the lake is back up and it’s a little warmer. None of my issues with the trip had anything to do with the staff or their equipment, easy day trip worth trying.

    Rented pontoon boat for family. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would have been 5 stars, but there was no ladder on the boat to get wife and kids back inside from swimming and no anchor either. Other than that we had a great time. We will be back!! Thank you!!!
