This is the lake you are on if you are staying with us! The association beach is great for swimming, with a floating dock, chairs, a swing set and a covered picnic area. Please do not use the kayaks on the rack on the beach-ours are closer to the cottage (see instructions in house!). I like to kayak or paddleboard TO the beach from our kayak rack.
