- ★★★★★over 2 years agoJoined friends at their lake house last week. Beautiful views and stunningly gorgeous, clean lake. Such a peaceful little slice of paradise tucked away in the mountains. Definitely scheduling a return trip soon!
- ★★★★★about 1 year agoMy wife and I had our honeymoon here in oct 2023 and it was some of the most beautiful fall colors either of us had ever seen it was so worth it!
- ★★★★★almost 8 years agoVery nice lake access location for boats and canoes. A beautiful lake that can be leisurely explored in 1-1/2 hours via pontoon boat. Not crowded and fairly calm.
- ★★★★★about 2 years agoOne of the most pristine lakes around at over 3000ft in elevation. I love the solitude that can be found up here with little to no people.
