When you’re not splashing around, rent a cabana so you can cool down under the shade. There are grills at each of the cabanas, too, so you can bring a couple of burgers to grill up for lunch!

You can also rent a kayak, stand up paddleboard, or peddle boat so you can explore the lake in a calmer, quiet setting.
