    I love swimming in the lake. But this place can be scary at times. Don't recommend night fishing, this place can draw quite a rough crowd. The playground is great and my son loves it, but why they had to put it directly in the hot sun and not in a shadier spot is unfortunate. My son burns his bum on the slides and his hands when it's hot. At least at Saluda Shoals Park they have a canopy to protect from the sun.
