Nice quiet place.. good for swimming in the summer and the water quality is reasonable. Freezes to ice in good winters. Cozy with small islands in the water that it is possible to swim out to. Small beaches are distributed all around the lake. There are tall trees all around, so don't expect many summer evenings in the sun.
