Great spot right by the water

Had a lovely experience here. Found a nice spot right by the water with alot of space. Very peaceful and free!. Got there Friday later in the evening and had no issues finding a spot.

Nice spot right next to the lake

We didn’t end up staying here because it was so windy, but if there wasn’t wind it would be a great place to stay. Multiple spots available along the river. There did seem to be someone who was living there, but there are spots available away from their spot. Picnic tables available!
