This place was great. The lake was clear and whether or not it was a good idea, we swam in it as did all our dogs. Great temperature water. The trees were nice to get lost in and the nature sounds at night were pleasant. It was pretty hot and humid for most of it. Nights got a little chilly by 4-5 am The map to get there is straightforward, just use Google to drive to the gate then walk down the access road. The turn to the lake is a little hidden but nothing that you can't find. My party hiked in way to much stuff, but it was more fun for it. We probably walked the trail about 20 times a piece to get everything in and out during our 3 night stay. The one thing that disappointed me was there were some other people here while we stayed and though they were respectful with noise, they did leave trash. It's not the only campsite that trash was left at either. Hopefully those coming here can show a little more respect in the future. We did end up using a chair and fire grate that was left behind and hiked it out with us though. Silver linings I guess. Overall a great experience.
