Beautiful spots and clean, some spaces are pretty tiny and there's no pergolas so bring some shade. Showers are dated but bathrooms are nice and clean. Closest stores are only 15 minutes away so not too bad. The "beach" is pretty muddy and full of bugs, not recommended although view is beatiful. Lots of folks with unleashed dogs and no one to enforce leashes. Neighbour's dog ran after mt kids. Site got pretty loud at night and again, no one to enforce anything.
Great! Except the dock could use more and better padding on the hard edges. And why should one not paddle along the dam? It’s the flattest water. And I wish the speed boats would stay farther away from paddlers; it’s a BIG piece of water. And I’d like to know the actual wind before I drive up there. A little weather monitor linked to the website would be very helpful. Accuweather ain’t very accurate.
Went fishing near the Rock Cliff boat ramp. Only one other person there early on a Tuesday morning. Water was getting a little low but we still had access to the shore. Beautiful morning.
Beautiful place to kayak! (Bring your own.) Bring water shoes! This is generally the quieter side of the Jordanelle. Reserve a cabana on weekends/holidays. There is not any shade - so sunblock is imperative. Outhouse. No other facilities. Pay at gate or use State Park Pass.
The lake is great! We went kayaking all day. There were a lot of people fishing also. The beach is not exactly like a good beach. No sand for kids to play. But there is a small volleyball place. The restrooms and showers are really good. Hot water 7/24. The campsite is good. Not a lot of shade but there are some trees. Bring your own fire. Not much woods around. We saw a lot of endemic plants, different types of birds, and deer during our walks. Bring binoculars for your little explorers. My son enjoyed camping there a lot!
