    Fun time. Great ramp for fishing boats. Lots of water.

    Quiet, out of the way lake with ample space for dozens of boaters to enjoy without crowding each other. The fishing is quite good, though catch-and-release only. No overnight parking or permanent slips, so you'll need to leave time at the end of the day to haul your boat back out, but two boat ramps are provided to speed the process.
