%2Fjs3wvub6982eremrka0ej4is2yy7&w=48&q=75){kind=small}
the traffic is a little hectic there, and there were a ton of people there. but everyone was super friendly, and the lake was loaded with bass to catch. and the bluegill are huge in there. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking to catch bass.
