About
Small lake about half mile in length and seams quite shallow, water temperature seamed quite cold for the size and depth but very refreshing.
Location
Getting there
Very easy, There is free parking at the top end too the North ( Although place are limited) then a 100 meter walk to lake side.
Accessibility
good assess to water from the north end off a pebbled shoreline. Some larger rocks to look out for while entering but then turns to a reedy bed (deep enough not to get tangled in tho)

Frequently asked questions
Is this lake safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for surface state and wind conditions. Review the Quality tab if this is a designated bathing water. Always read recent community reports for local advice.
How cold is the water?
Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. Lakes hold heat longer than rivers but can develop a thermocline. The water below the surface can be dramatically colder.
What should I bring?
A tow float for visibility (especially important where boats operate), warm layers for after, and consider a wetsuit in colder months. Check for designated swimming areas.
