Shoreline:
There is 300 ft of gradually sloping
shoreline. The sand beach area is very shallow and is the most
popular area during the summer for the smaller children and their
parents. for the serious swimmers, a diving raft is anchored
out from the dock in about 12 ft of water.
There's a 40 ft dock as well as plenty
of room along the shore to beach a fishing boat, so guests are
welcome to bring their own boats. There's no launching or docking fee. About two-thirds of the shoreline
is left natual. It is not uncommon to see a heron strutting along
the shoreline feeding on the abundant shorelife. Loons frequent
the area, as well as different species of ducks. Indeed, fishing
from the docks has proven as productive as just about anywhere
in the bay.
In the spring and early summer, a family
of otters can often be seen patrolling the bay, disappearing
now and again and usually surfacing with a small fish in their
mouth. this part of the shoreline is also a popular area for
kids to explore. Schools of minnows dart about, and frogs challenge
youngsters to try and catch them.
