This is an easy day trip suitable for family paddlers or you can take it out on the lake to get a real workout. There are plenty of islands to explore and yacht clubs to wander around.
This area is also rich in wildlife including blue heron, kingfishers, swallows, ducks, deer, turtles and more. Just the other day my kayak was inches away from a fawn hiding in the brush! We were both a little startled to see one another.
