The water here is great for paddle boarding all day! The wind only slightly picks up in the later evening. Definitely take the reviews of the mosquitos seriously, we showed up with some nice plant-based repellent and we were getting bit through our clothes. We ended up going into Leavenworth for the day to avoid the mosquitos and get some heavy duty backwoods sweat proof repellent, which definitely worked a lot better than what we had originally. They seemed to have no hesitation with the basic repellent, citronella candles and repellent wrist bands. We saw our neighbors using some electric paddle type thing which may be a worthwhile investment for your trip. Afterwards I learned that they are attracted to dark colors, so it's best to wear light loose fitting clothing to avoid being bit through your clothes. Be careful of the potholes when you first are coming off the main road and onto the dirt road, it will catch you by surprise! We were out here during the extreme heat warning and there was enough tree coverage and water access to the lake to keep us and our dog a comfortable temp. Also, max people per site is 6, we were unaware and assumed it'd be 8-12 people. We didn't get cell service out there and firewood/ice is about 25-30 minutes away in Plain, WA
