Note that the water is crystal clear so it shows the color of the sand perfectly. That part of the lake is shallow enough to wade out of substantial distance.
Be sure to stop by the Ranger Station to see the skull of a whale found in the lake. It is 1.75 million years old and the only one found inland on the East Coast.
