Lake Garrison

Water was great. Sandy beach and lots of space. My first time here, I'm definitely coming back.

This lake is beautiful! Very easy to get to and above all clean. The only reason I give it four stars is due to the staff and lifeguards having no problem using the loud speakers to correct customers and children when disobeying set rules. However, when it came to mutual respect if one another they lacked the ability to regulate it. A bunch of grown children yelling “Black Lives DON’T matter” for 5 minutes at the top of their lungs for everyone to hear in the water around a pretty diverse beach going crowd of all ethnicities, with no reprimand was pretty disheartening. If their parents don’t correct them. I feel it is the duty of the establishment to remind them that they should show mutual respect for all using the beach. I am Black and so is my nephew who is visiting . So, were many other families on the beach yesterday. Little children in general should not have to hear such nonsense when they are just trying to go for a swim on the lake. It seemed like a family oriented place. Do better to make the space feel like that for everyone. That behavior was absolutely ridiculous and off putting. I didn’t pay $8 each for that kind of experience.

We found this place on Labor Day last year on the last day they were open for the season. So nice. Water is great, many picnic tables available, attentive lifeguards. Can't wait to go this season.

Nice place to take the family! Nice lake for swimming, boating, canoeing. Also have picnic area and snack bar. We had a great time!
