This is about the smallest body of water I would consider - more of a pond than a lake. But it is a nice place. Access could not be easier, the parking lot goes right down to the water. If you live nearby, it is a good place for a quick 'dip'. To go a little farther, you can hop over the railroad tracks and get into the far section and a little ways up the byzantine creek that fills the lake.

If you've never spent much time on the water, then you probably don't realize just how fast you can get sunburned. That is because you are getting a double dose of the sun - both direct and reflected off the water's surface. You can get burned very fast.

The best protection against the sun is a big broad-brimmed hat (not a baseball cap - that is nearly useless.) If you periodically dunk the hat in the water or wet it from a bottle, it will stay nice and cool.
