Spent much of my childhood here. The cove is small when compared other recreational areas, however, it is much more in touch with nature than bigger lakes. If you like being out in nature and away from society this is a great place to be. Unfortunately, when it comes to the fishing you may want to look elsewhere. Just like other NRD lakes the fishing game here is mediocre. The lake suffers from algae blooms and fish kill offs. According to sample reports the fish are much smaller. NRD will say this is normal, however, I don't believe that fish are thriving in this particular lake.
