This is a great place to swim and have fun. We went on June 19 it was a very hot Sunday. Temp was 106. The cool water was a surprise. The only issue we had was lots of people would leave their trash and noone was picking up any trash during the day. They need more rangers cleaning up trash.
Its actually 7 small lakes!Whoa! All the activities are awsome. 
Park was neat and clean. Stayed in mid september so the pool closed and park was not busy.
