Reviews
- ★★★★★almost 7 years agoThis place gets so cold during the winter! I always have to make sure to bring layers of sweaters and my warmest coat. Once you're all set for the cold, then it actually is a really nice walk around the reservoir. There are a lot of birds on the lake too.
- ★★★★★over 1 year agoMy family and I come here to kayak and hike a lot. A perfect place for kayaking and fishing.
- ★★★★★about 5 years agoWent today. It was refreshing and pleasant, didn't complete the loop trail due to lack of time, hope to go for it during a weekend. Parking was ample, but there is no paved road when we near the reservoir.
- ★★★★★about 3 years agoGreat place but really don't understand why they don't allow paddle boarding.
- ★★★★★over 5 years agoVery nice reservoir for kayaks. Easy kayak launch available with a short walk from the parking lot. Not crowded at all (went mid-week tho).
