Many of the visitors coming to the park are local people who enjoy coming out for lunch or to come and fish after work, Catt said.

We have many repeat customers here at the lake, Catt said. Most of the campers come here because it’s a good place to fish.

Overflow camping is available for youth groups and can accommodate about 65 people, Catt said.
