Very nice place if you enjoy bicycle on the rail to trail path. The lake is a good place for boating and water fun.

Used the hiker-biker campsite while riding the GAP. $14 a person gets you a nice site right on the river, shower, bathrooms, and potable water. Only networks available are ATT, Firstnet, and Verizon.

Tent sites are in need of upgrades, so many low areas for water to accumulate we had rain and eventually had to move tent location to a higher grade area to keep water out of tent floor.
