You are invited to lounge with a drink, play board games, or simply relax to the crackle of the fire which is lit most inclement days. On the back patio are rocking chairs that draw your attenition to the lake, especially at sunrise and on days when the lake is a hue of blue that is like no other. Depending on the weather, ranger programs are presented daily either indoors near the fire place or outside on the patio.
