Adventure Tips
Bring water shoes for lake activities
The sandy lake bottom is inviting but can be rocky or slippery near the shore—water shoes protect your feet during swims and boat launches.
Reserve your boat dock space early
Dock space for one boat is allotted per cabin and can fill up quickly during peak season; booking in advance ensures hassle-free boating.
Use screens and bug spray in the evenings
Though the screened porch helps, nearby water attracts mosquitoes, especially at dusk; carrying bug spray will keep you comfortable.
Practice quiet hours around the fire pit
To maintain the peaceful lakeside atmosphere and be considerate of other guests and wildlife, keep noise levels moderate at night.
