LAKE
Man-made lake
To get there it’s a little bit of a hike but well worth it. The lake is the perfect size for families or for groups or even as an individual. You can rent kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and canoes. The lake is wonderful to swim in and as long as there’s not a burn ban in effect you can barbecue there as well. Some days there are food trucks there also.
