👍👍 Get in early because it gets busy! Didn't do the lake thing but it looked like a lot of fun. It was packed and many boats on the water. We hiked to Cleo's bath.

Woodward Reservoir

Lake

👍 Go during the weekday and the lake is pretty much all yours. Great for kayaking, wake boarding, or tubing. Don't expect resort clear water or golf green grass. It's a location that gives a "down to earth" feel that keeps everyone comfortable. If you're boujie, this place is not for you. But I love t...

👍 This is the park we often go for a walk when we have nowhere else to go. You can easily walk 4-5 miles on a flat road with a variety of views.

Rollins Lake was our first camping t...
