Lake is great and close to town. But the County needs to maintain it better. They easily could drag the sand on beaches once a week or so. That would take no more than 10 minutes with a tractor. The beach areas are infested with stickers and thorns, which make it miserable for children and adults to walk barefooted. Also they allow the nice sand volleyball courts to be overgrown and without sand. For the camping fees charged these simple maintenance tasks should be done. Otherwise people will start going elsewhere and that would be unfortunate!

As far as Kansas lakes are concerned this one is decently maintained. The lake itself offers swimming, fishing, basically anything a lake would offer. For boating purposes I would say this is a descent lake, however, it is rather small. The grounds are mostly kept up, but I would recommend swimming shoes because of potential broken glass in the area. It's okay, overall.
