Beautiful lake and surroundings. Great place to bring your family to, camping sites, BBQ, boating, fishing, swimming, and hiking. The restrooms are clear. There are lots of covered picnic tables with gorgeous views. Right now, flowers are blooming. Don't miss this opportunity to take amazing pictures.

Amazing place to go and relax and fish. Water seems low but it's been a dry year. Caught some catfish and a blue gill. Definitely a good place to try. We used worm and it worked pretty good. Want catfish bring chicken liver or peanut butter and catfood.

I went out there on a Thursday, no crowds, water was great. Beautiful Desert lake, plenty of shoreline camping. Me and my dog had a great day.
