Went just for the lake. Really pretty vista. No real beach areas, not a lot of space to sit or to spread a blanket and a ton of goose poop. Shallow end has a lot of small rocks so may be water shoes would be a good idea. Recommend bribing a inflatable bc water can get deep and also more fun for kids. We hiked down to the spring with small water fall and a better time. Shady for great for a hot day and pretty quiet. Only really dirty and disgusting portapotty.
