👍👍 Lots of people enjoying the water bringing their boats and kayaks.

👍👍 Bell's Cafe, great place to eat on the dock!

👍 Very good! Sandy beach and clear waters, large parking lot and extensive woods with a hundred tables with benches and barbecues. 3 lifeguards guarantee the safety of swimmers in a demarcated area. It's a shame there's a lot of rubbish left lying around at the end of the day...

👍👍 Of course we love the kayak dock, great place to kayak from. You can go about 6 miles up the river. For a nice 3 hour one way trip put in at Gleasondale, at the one lane bridge in Stow, and go downstream to Ice House Landing. Make sure you leave a car to get back to Stow, it’s a long paddle back.
