A very interesting Reservoir. Fishing can be hit or miss. Only ever caught pike and perch here. Launch is just a gravel patch and depending on lake level which changes frequently can be good or poor. Kayak and canoe are never an issue. Go south from the launch(launch is at the north end) to the 2nd part of the lake, along the north shore is a decent sized dirt wall and check out the cliff swallow nests. The far south part turns to marsh and a winding creek style.
