Things to know:

The Lake will be reopening in May 2026 for swimming and water activities.

Every winter the lake is drawn down 12 feet for shoreline repairs.

There are several steps down to get to the property and then more steps to get down to the lake. There are railings everywhere but just something to note when taking luggage down from car.

Trash pickup is Monday mornings. Please make sure trash receptacle is secure every time you open it so to keep bears out.

When using rafts, kayaks, or paddle boards please stay in No Wake Zones to avoid boating traffic. The whole cove is a no wake area so it is safe to be in the cove.

There should be plenty of firewood scattered around outside. If you run out of firewood, Ingles is the closest store to grab a bundle.
