For just $6 you can bring your own kayak, SUP, or canoe to launch on their sandy little beach. Or you can rent one of their kayaks. Even on weekends with decent weather I've seen them mostly available on the spot. There are also options for an annual pass, fishing, and even a paved ramp to put in motorized boats. You could also very easily just sit and relax here by the waterside or stroll around. But if you want to get on the lake, this is the prime spot. Bird watching along the shoreline is great from the vantage point of the kayak. With a vast array of birdsong to ID, you can even see kingfishers ducking, diving, and doing anything to ruin your chances of proving they exist with a photograph. But at least you can enjoy a quiet and relaxing float to ease the soul.

Can't vouch for the golf course, haven't tried that yet. Ps the fishing is pretty good too.

A little advice; make sure you spray the cabin down really really well cause we brought back bed bugs and had to throw things away to get rid of them. That was a first experiencing bed bugs.

One $300k Houseboat even had to be donated to Charity Auction to be moved in time. We hope they are happy with their greed and lack of thought for the community.
