Has improved a lot!

This lake has came a long ways from how it use to be. It is a pretty good lake now, the front camp grounds are really nice and the others on the north side of the lake are definitely better than the ones on the south side but they are still nice. It is a more natural lake and fees are not terrible. The lank ranger is really nice as well.

not impressed

I'm not impressed with this lake which happens to be be in my home town. It's trashy and sad. People only go to party and leave trash and graffiti everywhere. No-one can swim bc of the broken glass around the beaches. I would hope everyone would be more proud of their lake and take better care of it than what they currently are. The ranger seems more I interested in money than safety of the visitors.
