what to expect

We hope you enjoy your stay at this beautiful, rustic lakeshore campground. While you are here, you can fish, hike, watch birds, boat, and just enjoy the great outdoors. This recreation area has a forested hiking trail around the lake; bring your binoculars to help you get a good look at all the birds and other wildlife that live here. An easy-access boat launch allows you to get your electric-powered boat on the water to find the best fishing spots, or you can fish from the seawall. A paved trail to the lakeshore provides access to all.
