Order a frozen slushy drink - they make them in non-alcoholic versions, too, for the kids - and cool off after a day on the lake in the hot summer sun.

There's a full food menu, too - featuring Phamous Phil's slow smoked and seasoned BBQ. The brisket is to die for.

Other bar bites available include tacos, pizza, wings, burgers, and brats. There's something here to please even the pickiest eater.

Check out the water slide that drops you right into the lake itself. It's a huge hit with the younger crowds!

If you love live music, stick around for the evening entertainment. Most nights, there's some great music coming from the Barefoot Stage.
