Beautiful spot if you want to be alone. There's a little sandy part that I didn't know about until a family pulled up. I was on the rocky side. My dog had a good time

Stay the night and did not return to the yacht club woke up to life flight landing near our camping area overall the lake was awesome too many mosquitoes waking up to Cops and paramedics and a helicopter was awesome if I was really in trouble

We spent 3 days fishing and didn't catch a thing. There were a lot of dead fish floating in the water most likely because they started to drain the reservoir to start repairs on the docks. Maybe next time

This is our second year. We had so much fun. The Willow Bay Resort was fantastic and they took care of us.
