You don't have to fight the lake's road traffic. It is thick with trees and vegetation and takes you two-thirds of the way around, far removed from road traffic. There are also steeper upper trails that cross the hills above the road. Playing on the Water You can rent paddleboats, canoes, rowboats and small-engine outboards. A concession stand has snacks and fishing gear.
Parking is free and adequate most days and early on weekends.
Restrooms and water fountains are located in the parking lot and in a picnic area halfway around the lake.
