No swimming which is all we wanted.
I specifically asked if you could swim off the dock and was told you can. You can't swim anywhere in this lake. The weeds and vegetation come up to 6 inches under the surface of the entire lake. The yard was a swamp. We tried to step in the water at the edge of the property and my foot sunk in to 6 inches of rotted vegetation. The dog couldn't even swim. I guess everything else was fine but it ruined our vacation. Spent the whole time staring at the water instead of being in it. There is one tiny common area about a 5 minute walk down the road where you can swim. It has been dug out and sand added but if one family is there, the water area is already crowded.
