    Such a beautiful Lake!! We did kayak and paddle boarding, it was the first time we were there so rentals recommended us to launch in Battle run which it’s a nice area bc it had a little beach and like an island. In some point were a lot of boats going so fast definitely got pretty wavy. We realized the amazing views of the lake of the big rocks and waterfalls were kind of far away in an area called Long Point so we definitely coming back another time to explore that area, but still we had a great time!

    This place is beautiful. It has clean water, it is drained every year for the white water rafting and it refills from the melting of the snow and rain. An absolute attraction you must visit. There is a loading dock for your boat and you can fish all night. However, you can also fish on the docks provided.
