No plantlife at all. It is crowded with party-goers on the weekends. Boat traffic is very high. The facilities are slightly new though. Reviewed by Recon on May 12, 2008
A very dirty lake with a massive amount of boat traffic. The facilities are not kept up very well, and the lake is packed on the weekends with party-goers.Additional Resources
