Summer transforms the area into a bustling aquatic playground where the lake becomes the star attraction—though you'll share the beaches with plenty of fellow water lovers. Each season paints the landscape differently, from spring wildflowers dotting the shoreline to autumn's fiery display reflecting off the lake's surface.
