Recreation - For you serious slalom skiers, this lake has slalom course ready and waiting to be used. This lake is host to a variety of water activities: wakeboarding, water skiing, tubing, jet skis, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. You name it, if there's a water activity out there, you can do it on this 2500+ acre lake. OK....there's no ski jump on this lake, so exclude ski jumping from your list of water activities.
