    SUCH a beautiful place to float around and relax. Great atmosphere, everyone having a good time, this is the perfect place to spend a sunny day. Plenty of parking, no fees to park, and parking is very close to the water. We intend to go back often!

    Always beautiful, well maintained, so much open space, super clean. Perfect for any sunny day. They even have those Frisbee golf goal thingies... I've never played but I think I might come out here and try it. The water here is great. Seems more suited to jet skiing and boating then swimmers however there are decent swimming spots if you know where to look and I'm sure you can just jump in off of the dock.

    It has a great access for boats. Also has a popular Disc golf course. Bathrooms and a big parking lot. Access road to the bottom of the dam is worth the 5 min drive. It's a massive pile of rocks holding back a river! Cold, clean water. Good stuff. Overall a great park.

    It's a nice park, plenty of open space, but not much of a beach area. The disc golf course is great, but there's a lot of poison oak during the summer.

    Found this place to have quick lunch on the way to crater lake from Seattle. This place has good views of the lake and many picnic tables. There is a portable toilet which isn’t so clean. Plenty of parking available. Usually not so crowded.

    Nice, clean recreation area with a top notch disc golf course. Fantastic scenery. 18 hole par 3 disc golf course. Great balance or wooded and open shots. Also there's a few uphill shots along with some downhill ones...good elevation changes to mix it up. Nice tee pads and signage. Keep an eye on your disc!!

    Great family place. Good place to go fishing. Restrooms are fairly clean for non flushing toilets. Have picnic tables and lots of open space. Love the cover bridge.

    I intend on spending a signifi andcant amount of time here this summer Wearing not nearly enough clothes and nothing but tan lines underneath....lol. beautiful park, clean and well maintained, clean fresh water this lake sparkles as far the eyes can see.... perfectly placed picnic tables at the waters edge provide the perfect place to enjoy sunsets. Although this park is closed at night time, the large open spaces it offers simply beg a nighttime audience of star gazers. What an exciting night time event that could be..lol...

    Nice disk golf course. Started late and ran out of sunshine to finish but a fun course for sure.

    This is definitely my favorite disc golf course to date. There is so much variety between each hole, and the location is beautiful. It is beside a large body of water, heavily wooded, has a plethora of picnic tables, and even BBQ pits. The holes themselves were intuitively placed, and easy to find the next one for the most part. The difficulty varies from one shot to the next. The only "downside" was the crazy incline on a few of the holes like the Stairway to Heaven. It was pretty intense to pull my daughter up to the top in our stroller, haha. But, it was doable! And it's probably not an issue for most people unless they have a disc cart. I genuinely recommend it, though, very family friendly and just overall a beautiful course.

    Great place to go boating and fishing! Be sure to check for blue green algae. It should be posted at the message board by the boat launch. Dexter is also our favorite place to play disc golf.

    They need better/more paths by the water. Could use some 🚻 by the paths . It is pretty clean ! Just not easy for the handicap to get near fishing spots!! This park was more for boaters & freezbe golfer's.

    Came to view a meteor shower. We had a lovely time. The parks amenities were nice. The lake and mountains were beautiful.
