We arrived late and were only staying one night, so did not get to experience much. Took a walk in the morning down to the lake and it was nice

We held our family reunion at the Gun Creek Day Area and it was perfect! The bathroom were a bit of a distance but the lake view and the perfectly shaded area was worth that sacrifice. We'll be holding ALL of our reunions there from now on.
