I have grown up coming to Joes Valley. We have a cabin in Reeder Subdivision. This place is one of my favorite places to go. I should give it a 1 star so people will stay away lol. This place is great for boating, fishing, deer hunting, bouldering, and way more. The history here is amazing and so are the surrounding communities. If you come leave it better than when you came. Get off the beaten path there are hidden lakes and ponds all over. We love to go up in the winter it is quiet and peaceful!
Very cool place to relax. Though it was extremely busy with boats and skiers, I was still able to relax and fish.
I hope this review is not inappropriate but Google Wanted review so here it is.... IT'S a very beautiful place but sadly my son was killed up there so we couldn't really enjoy it. But it is absolutely beautiful! I'm sure that if you visited, you would have good memories there! So I would highly recommend checking it out! My Son Loved it up there!!
My family has been coming here nearly my whole life. It's absolutely beautiful and we love it! Only thing I really hate is the no service. As much as I love getting away, it's stressful when you can't call for emergency services nor get a hold of someone if you got lost or simply because you needed to. This year I think is the fullest I have ever seen it (which increased the bugs big time!) We had an amazing trip despite the lack of a beach and multiple bug bites. We miss the marina so much! I remember going there as a kid. Hoping to see it open again some day.
