Arrived in August. Zero bugs, plenty of sunshine, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Went paddleboarding from the canoe landing. It was lily pad heaven.
For ppl with families: there are canoes to rent at the landing. It's super easy to get to: enter the park, follow the road until you reach a T, turn left, follow to the end of the road. The park maps are incredibly helpful.
There is a park for kids to play, great campsites, lots of fishing opportunities (I saw some big fish under my board), and the beautiful birds around the waters edge are fun to watch. This would be a GREAT place to camp in August for sure!
Recently, my family even held their family reunion there. Great buildings near the water, clean restrooms, and zero bug spray needed. I assume May is buggy because I know the area and May is mosquito torture. But August is paradise.
If I wanted a summer day on the water with my family, I'd go here or Mirror Lake.
