Not sure what I'm rating. It's a Dam. A pretty good size one as well. They do have multiple parking lots, grills and picnic spaces near it and the visitor center is free and very interesting

Beautiful lake. Serene. Nice recreational area. Walking/Bike riding path. Came a few days after the rain, but it was so peaceful. A must visit.

Nice place to fish, have a cookout, or picnic. You can swim, but there are no lifeguards. There are swimming spots at palmer point, Rudd's creek, and at buffalo park.

Very well maintained campground. Very friendly staff. Sites are nice and level. Only negative is sites are not very private. Not all lake sites are right on the water.

It was over run with Hispanic people 15 to 20 in a camp site. Music all night. alcohol on display. Generators running all night. Tents on the beach. I went there on a fishing trip with a friend. But I wouldn't take my wife and kids.
