Nice lake. Fish didn't bite the whole 5 days we were there with a group of 8.
It's definitely more of a trolling lake for anyone unfamiliar... Most of the boats are pontoons because there are only 2 or 3 parts of the lake where is deeper than 4-5 feet. Some of the places are cool, but this seems like a Reno of lakes, where Norris or Cumberland would be Vegas. You can get the idea of staying on the water, and it looks neat from the house, but going out is pretty lame.
Love this place. Spend a full week here every year. Huge campsites. Beach. Free docking for people that are registered campers.
I always liked coming to this state park and camping here but my recent stay was a little less than desired. I stayed in the A section where there was a whole group of geese wandering all over the campsite leaving droppings all over the campsite, but not just on the campsite all over the road and I noticed it was covering the entire beach and boat ramp area. Another thing I noticed, or didn't notice, was the lack of authority in the park. I was there from Thursday to Sunday and didn't see a single park ranger or officer of any type drive through. I also noticed one morning while going for a walk with my dog that is on a leash the lax in the leash law around the park. Dogs would come right up to you out of their campsite and try to mess with either you or your dog. We would tell the owner that they need to put a leash on their dog but it doesn't do any good. The last thing I noticed was there is plenty of 10 MPH speed signs posted but there are also plenty of people going well over the 10 MPH speed limit! With all the kids and people walking/biking around you think they would slow it down a bit.
I would like to see the park install some sidewalks or walk ways or something so that you aren't walking on the already crowded, narrow driveways throughout the park. I think it would be much safer if they had a separate place for foot traffic to use instead of the edge of the road and hoping that the vehicles see you.
This visit was just to sit on the beach and enjoy the gorgeous weather on Mother's Day, but we have camped at this park as well and loved it. The campsites are beautiful; especially the ones along the lake. There's an entire section that's more established, so there's a lot of shade, but if full-on sun doesn't bother you, there's a more open area for camping as well. The camp store is adequate for those small items you may have left at home and the associates are very nice as well. The campground and beach are well maintained. We will definitely visit both the beach and the campground again!
