Great for a day out

Bring your walking shoes and flip flops. There is some small walks through the sand and around the lake.
The beach area is nice and can get pretty busy on the weekends. Be careful though, if you swim in the water, there are leaches. But if you stay on the shore edge they won’t bother you.
