Popular with locals and tourists alike, this wonderful beauty spot is a great place to enjoy a range of activities, from watersports to sightseeing and everything in between.The north beach is the designated swimming area, so make a beeline here when the sun is high in the sky. Spread out a towel and bask in the hot Nevada sun before cooling down with refreshing dip in the temperate lake waters. For more active fun, challenge your friends and family to a game of volleyball on one of the two outdoor courts before treating everyone to a refreshing ice-cream.The pretty park has long been a haven for watersports enthusiasts. Try your hand at windsurfing, sailing or kayaking here. Furthermore, the lake is teeming with all sorts of interesting marine life so, if you’re visiting with a group, why not make a day of it and go scuba diving together?Anglers will be pleased to know that they can fish off the pier at the south end of the lake. The best times for fishing are an hour before sunrise and the two hours after sunset. With any luck, you'll land a lovely black bass just remember to collect your fishing licence beforehand.There is plenty here to keep kids of all ages entertained. After you have walked, run or cycled your way around the three-kilometre paved path that encircles the lake, deposit the little ones in the large playground while you take a well-earned rest on one of the nearby benches. And, when tummies start to grumble, this gorgeous park is not short of pretty picnic spots. Roll out a rug under any shady tree and enjoy some tasty treats as you watch the world go by.For something a bit different, hire a boat and head out onto the open water. On a warm day, nothing beats being caressed by a gentle breeze as you bob along amid spectacular views of the magnificent mountain backdrop. Talk about pure bliss!
