Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 12 visitors · 2020–2026
Bring a kayak or paddleboard
The lake prohibits motorized boats, creating calm, flat water perfect for paddling with rentals available for about 30.
Arrive early on weekends
Parking is limited and the lot fills quickly on sunny days, even Saturday afternoons.
Plan for restroom access issues
The bathhouse appears to be frequently locked despite being on-site, so plan accordingly or use nearby Main Street facilities.
Watch for geese droppings
The beach has a notable goose population that leaves waste on the sand and grounds.
