Often overshadowed by the much larger Coralville Reservoir next door, this lake has a personality and pace all its own. There's a public beach for sunbathing and nearby swimming. Adjacent is a small concession area where you can rent boats and paddleboats by the hour. Fishermen who bring their own boats must observe a 10-horsepower limit during the summer months. It's lifted in fall and spring, but boats must be operated at no-wake speed.
Sailboats are another popular craft on the lake.
But you certainly don't need a boat to fish this lake. Many opt to fish from the shoreline. Panfish are plentiful. Others choose to hike or bike the trail that skirts the northern edge of the lake. It offers great views of the lake and surrounding countryside.
