Very cool , season ends oct 15th i believe can get gas a buck more a gallon , has a store , fish boat or just hang out
Loon Lake was a wonderful lake to camp at and take out the kayaks. We kayaked the entire lake and got to see a lot of wildlife as well. It is a smaller and relatively calm lake that has many areas to explore.
Great lake for swimming, boating, paddle boards, jet ski even fishing. Picnic tables and BBQ pits. Only thing i didn't like is they only have 1 handicap parking spot. I think with as many people that comes they should have more than 1.
