Swimming Conditions
The one-mile long beach consists of white sand and is quite clean. There are beach bikes for rent. The water has a green tint but it is mostly clear. There are some sharp rocks by the dock so you should be careful – water shoes may be a good idea.
In general, the lake has both deep and shallow areas, making it a nice swimming spot for good as well as weak swimmers. However, lately, they have introduced a swim line limiting access to the deeper areas.
Please note that from August 2019 until April 2020 there will be no lifeguards on duty – so swim at your own risk.
Other Activities
There are trails running all the way around the lake and through the woods where you can just stroll and relax. A beautiful and very peaceful place. For watersport enthusiasts, there is a nice opportunity to rent various watersport equipment on-site.
