Accessibility Notes: Ample parking - intended for dozens of boaters and beachgoers, mostly vacant in winter. Walking ~1/4 mile on a mix of level pavement (around the parking lot) and uneven dirt/grass (wooded edges around the parking lot, and if we follow the wooded edge toward the campground). Terrain generally flat with minor slopes. Pit toilet available nearby in campground.

Note that the lake can get quite windy, so dress accordingly.
