Good training site with a lot of under water attractions. Very nice grounds with RV electric hookups, nice secluded tent campsites and even some cabins. They allow campfires as well. This is a great place to camp for a weekend and get in some dives. It has several deep water entry points. There is a dive shop onsite to provide air fills, gear and accessories for sale or rent. There are platforms at 15’, 30’, and 40’. Underwater attractions include a school bus, VW Beetle, van, small plane, torpedos, tanker truck which you can swim into, the "habitat" which you can also swim into, crane, RR tracks and cars, fire truck, a few small boats and the main attraction: The Quest, which is a 72 ft. trawler ship sunk at 42’. Shore fishing is allowed for overnight campers. The lake supports populations of rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, small & largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish, walleye, yellow perch, chain pickeral, catfish, american eel, and a few large koi.
