So quiet, peaceful and clean. We enjoy walking the area putting our kayaks in at the old low water boat dock spot. The path at Methodist Cove is a favorite of ours as well. Love the beautiful sky at night when you get away from the campground cleanup crew campsite. It would be great if they could make an area for putting in kayaks along the edge of the reservoir.
