If I have a day where I'm caught up with my chores and kind of want to do a leisurely
activity and kind of just get away from all the fuss and muss and get a little peace,
serenity in nature and hopefully a big bass, that's what I come out here for.
I think more families would come and, you know, the kiddos could do their youthful activities
and, you know, jump off the rock ridges safely, of course, and I think it would just make
for good family days and not so much angler days.
A good blend of the two is, I think it would be really good for this lake.
So, yeah, I think the water clarity is good and I definitely think it would be a good
lake to have a nice dip in, especially on those hot summer days.
You're not having to deal with other issues like other boaters just waking you out and
worrying about, you know, jet skiers hitting them and, you know, doing circles all around
the lake and, you know, it's just, this lake is too small for that, honestly.
It wouldn't work out.
It's also just the wake that a wakeboard boat will create destroys all the natural
habitat around this lake because those four foot wakes come into shore and just knock
everything down.
