    The water was crystal clear, I was fishing for bass unfortunately no luck, but i did see plenty of trout swimming by, there is a paved road that goes around the lake for a nice walk.

    Wouldn't say the best lake for fishing; they said they stocked it with fish a day before I went, so the fish might not have had time to swim downstream. But still had a good time; there were also kids throwing rocks into the lake, so that could just be the reason.

    Had a great day on the lake, wasn’t too busy and the boat rental was affordable, 5 hours for under 70$. John and Vincent provided great service will be returning
