It was peaceful, but algae bloom warnings said to stay out of water. There were flies throughout the park and even near the parking lot. The entire place had a foul smell, and the flies swarmed near the locked outhouses (closed for maintenance). I smelled it as soon as I got out of the car in the parking lot. It's beautiful, but I recommend going when the bathrooms have been fixed. The flies and smell take away a lot of the enjoyment of fresh air.
