AMENITIES offers the opportunity to keep warm on those chilly nights with our electric fireplace or better yet, grab some smores and sit out by our large fire pit! Want to eat some lunch by the water while the kids play on our inflatable lake island or floating water mat? There is a charcoal grill and picnic area right by the dock! If you're not a water person, play a round of cornhole, enjoy the tire swing, or utilize the 4-burner gas grill while watching the little ones use the toddler slide and single swing! Forgot life jackets, water shoes, or beach towels? Look no further!

Other things to note
The water depth in front of our boat dock is 2ft. The closest boat rental to us is Poplar Point Mariana (3.2 miles also home to waterfront restaurant Shady Shacks). Boat rentals need to have an outboard motor that can lift in order to guide the boat into our boat dock and a top that can fold down to ensure clearance under the bridge from great creek to the main lake (clearance is 8'11").
Bringing your own boat? Holly Grove Mariana 1.5 miles away has a public boat ramp for use.
