If you go all the way to the left of the Lake there is a tiny marina and a beach. You can rent boats there and relax in the shade. They even have a few lounge chairs and tables.

Beautiful little lake with a beach. About 30 minutes hike from the parking lot. Beware, need to pay for parking. Used to be $7. There is no attendant on site, so take exact change. Closed during the winter and early spring.

A little pond just 2 minutes drive from our place. This pond's goal in life is to teach kids how to fish. In fact, it's illegal to fish there if you are above 14 without kids' supervision.

Not sure about the restaurant itself but the beach it's on is pretty nice. Centrally located, good views, the resort it's located on keeps it clean, there is a restaurant at the resort if you go hungry. We go here often.

Gorgeous but touristy. Worth a trip if you've never been. Especially over the week when it's not as busy. Be prepared for a long walk down (around 30 mins) and then up.

Huge outside sitting area. Large beer selection that they change every week or so. You can bring your own food, but they also have a vendor onsite that sell tacos, hotdogs, etc. A great place to relax after a beach or mini golf which is right next door.
