We read the reviews beforehand about getting there early to get a boat so we came the day before to scope out the site and boats. I have to say that their "fleet" is pretty worn out and there are only two decent pontoon boats which are the Deluxe ones. The rest are wood seats ,metals seats or ripped cushion seats. The staff was nice and helpful. The store has what you need and the $12 entry fee was reasonable. They are flexible in allowing dogs and swimming which met our needs. We arrived at 6 am and we're the first ones there and were able to secure the best Deluxe pontoon. We were happy with pontoon and the lake. They did confirm they will lock the gates if they reach lake. Capacity with no walk ins so plan to get your group there earlier. The one big thing that needs improvement is that there are no ladders or other options to get back into the pontoon boat if you get out to swim. Even two of our young fit group had a hard time getting in. That would have made the swimming experience so much nicer.
