It was so bright and hot that I stayed in much of the time or sat under dappled shade. It's an interesting place, and one of the best places I know for short walks where there is a lake with Canada geese and their goslings, and a trail that goes back to the edge of the park property.

Unfortunately the signage wasn't super clear that this was the case, and clerk at the beach club store was happy to sell us sun screen and towels because we were obviously going to take our 3 kids swimming. Might have been a good time to say "hey before you buy this...." A random person stopped us about 5 feet from the edge of the water to let us know about the water. Sigh.....
