Pretty decent little park. It had a nice playground that we didnt get to play on because of covid shut down. Restrooms were open so thats a positive. The park was very empty as we got here at about 10:00 a.m. and left at 1:00 p.m. They had only two picnic tables down by the beach and the water access is somewhat difficult to navigate. It would be helpful if they redid their water access We made it easier for those with a limited range of motion or small children. The lake was peaceful and quiet. Plenty of opportunity to fish, swim or boat.

The water was just the right amount of wet. They kept the sun very sunny, so that was a nice touch. I asked of I could have a place to lie down on the beach that was near the shore. They said I could pick any spot I wanted! This place is the greatest!

Great park, great views, great swimming, maybe some swimmers itch but take a shower after. Could always be worse, could get a fish upcyour urethra. A shower after a swim is definitely not unheard of.

Review №31

Great place, pet friendly, would give it 5 stars but the leash law was not followed at all making it a challenge considering our dog is old and doesn’t like surprise dogs popping up out of the bushes. Ultimately we ended up having to leave because of this. If you take your pet in public and want to take it off the leash, you should put it back on if you see other pets approaching. We will be back, we’ll rave our old pup at home next time.

Nice playground, picnic tables, fun access to lake. There are life jackets for little kids. It can get loud and unruly in the late afternoon because of all the day drinkers. The best time to come for kids is 10-3

Review №35

We always drive past this park and occasionally it is PACKED. Now I can see why! An amazing little park with nice open spaces to sit down on the ground and relax. The Waters edge is well maintained and there is a good open area for swimming. Not going to dock any stars, but I wish the boat enterance on the far side of the lake was posted around the park clearly, but definitely something we noticed once down at the water.

Great place to hang out. There is a park and plenty of tables. Plus a huge space for a ton of people. The water is super nice and pretty warm on sunny days. There is a pole ij the water where you can climb and jump off of. Plus its super kid friendly.

Its been closed for a year, so there are a lot of renovations going on. A few large dirt patches here and there that are fenced off so they can regrow the grass. It should be REALLY nice by Summer time. Nice lake, playground and plenty of benches for picnics and birthday parties.

Review №54

The atmosphere is great. Parking can be a hassle, so just get there early. If there is no parking there is an overflow lot just across the entrance. Also, right next to the overflow lot there is a gas station the serves wine, beer, and snacks so have at it. I only have one gripe. Im pretty sure there was a crack head there tripping really hard. Idk if he is a local legend or just a crack head who just happened to be at the lake that day. Any ways he gave me no trouble, just talking to himself and singing the Scooby Doo theme song.

The lake is large enough to get away from all of the obnoxious people. Would recommend launching your boat or kayak off Lakeview rather than walking it down to the beach of the park.

If youre looking for somewhere quiet to go this is not your place on warm summer days. This place is the go-to lake in the area. Its very crowded during nice weather.There are large grills to accommodate parties looking to cook. Theres an enclosed swimming area and a small area on the opposite end of the park thats good for fishing or just hanging out on a bench overlooking the water. The lake itself is great for kayaking in.

This is a wonderful park, beach, and facilities. Usually not too crowded...but it does get packed for big holidays. Memoial Day and Labor Day I saw it full. I was not there for the July 4. The first two times I tried to go though, it was closed for the winter season.

Review №91

This park is relatively small compared to other local parks. Playground is fair and restrooms are clean and open. Fishing here is moderate. Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout and Sun perch are very common. Small boat ramp and limited fishing real estate. Get here early if you want a spot. Ball court and volleyball area are a plus. Not much area for bbq and kids. Good for a few hours of rest and relaxation.
