We have been camping at Walton Lake for many years. We've always had an amazing time. My main concern is the amount of fallen and felled trees surrounding the lake.. I understand the need for some fallen trees however, this beggars belief. What you have their is plenty of fuel for a lightning strike. I hope you will have attended to it before that happens.

A beautiful, small lake with good camping facilities. Bring a small kayak or inflatable boat to get the most out of it.
