Floating swim platform in addition to the dock. Can rent a pontoon boat nearby. As summer progresses, lake levels recede and beach area becomes larger (sand and areas with stone). 8'x8' shaded platform to sit by the beach with a few steps for easy, safe access. Bonfire pit by shore for those magical evenings under the stars.

Beautiful stone patio with outdoor hot tub for 8, gas fire pit, sun beds, cocktail table, & Adirondack chairs.
