Anglers and paddlers who can show up early on a weekday will likely find an open site with direct lake access, no fee, and calm morning water. Motorized and non-motorized boats are both welcome, and the 20-acre size means you can cover the whole lake in an afternoon.
No potable water on-site means hauling everything you'll drink. With only 14 sites, no reservations, and free camping, a summer weekend arrival without a backup plan could leave you without a spot.

Summer delivers the most reliable conditions. Typical highs run 75–85°F, with nights cooling to 45–55°F. Long daylight hours and stable weather make boating, swimming, and shore fishing comfortable from late May through September. Mornings often bring mirror-smooth water. The lake is at its clearest during peak summer. Weekend crowds are moderate, lighter than you'll find at bigger lakes in the region. Spring and fall offer solitude but cooler water temperatures and shorter operating windows.
Summer provides most reliable conditions; long days and stable weather suitable for lake activities.
