Reviews of Banks Lake
Reviewed by TheFox on February 21, 2008
(6 out of 6 members found this review useful.)A few trees in the middle of a desert climate. Nice beach area, and access to the lake. Newer bathrooms with showers. However it is quite noisy, becasue the Highway is not far from most of the sites.
