Feb 25, 2020Only boat rides available. No beaches or docks to hang out at the water. I think the shoreline belongs to the electric company. Great to drive around on the highway with good views of the volcano

Apr 10, 2019Our son was so excited to fish there but we couldn't find any access points to the lake other than where you go to get on boats or seaplanes. That was disappointing.
