Beautiful spot amongst nature, this lake, which is surrounded by forest, has a designated area for swimming. The lake is shared with various watersports. The beach was clean when we visited, and the water crystal clear. As it was out of season (Mid May), everything was closed up. Can imagine it gets busy during the holidays. Parking was just behind the beach.

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.
