We took our lunch break in this area and what a view. The water was not too cold…I even got my feet wet.

Short, easy, shaded hike that follows the edge of the lake & connects the parking lots. Lots of parking available, bathrooms and picnic tables close to the parking lot. Quick walk to the waters edge for a beautiful view of lake.

A good place for lunch or picnic. It's just few steps from the lake. Parking, toilets, picnic tables, all as it should
