It’s got many attractions, lots of fish and can hunt on parts of it for deer.many public access points for boating, fishing from shore, kayaking, etc. plus there’s dolphins, and they give you opportunities to photograph them riding your bow. Black bears can be sighted in area around black water, I saw one running from trash can at night on ward basin.
