Great place. Really chill place. Only downside is if your going to BBQ the wasps are insane if you stay the grass area bring mosquito repellent. The lake is great clean and plenty of spaces for wakeboarding and tubing.

Great for boat rentals. Really nice and helpful staff. Rented a 12 person pontoon, check in at the marina store was easy, knowledgeable guide for the boat, easy to return the boat at the end of the day. Prices are reasonable. Boat was clean and ran smoothly and we enjoyed all day on the boat and plenty of space for 3 coolers and 12 adults. Price: 8 hour rental of the single story pontoon for 12 people, it cost $912 (boat) + $50 (gas). Our group thought that was very reasonable.

Tucked away from all major city and urban caos, this little hidden jewel of a lake is a dreamy spot for anyone and everyone. Camp sites are accessible by boat so you feel completely off grid. Tranquil setting, abundance of wildlife and clean water with loads of fish. If it wasn't for the drought, which may close this lake unexpectedly, it is the best year round lake to enjoy, nestled in the hills which give it a climate all its own. Don't drive 2+ hours away when this 1 1/2 hour treck, is ideal for even a day get away. P.S. the store on your right, about 3 mile's before the entrance to the lake, is a historic spot, been there since 1881 and is now owned by the daughter of Gallo winery. Awesome sandwich's or just catch the historic vibe.

Great launching point for boating around the lake. The lake is so large that at times it feels like you're the only people there. The water is clean as can be expected and pretty warm (at least it was in July). The boats are clean, in working order, with no problems at all. Great service from the staff and there was ample parking.
