The sign atop the stone gate, adorned with gothic lettering, brings to mind a summer camp from the 50's. The entrance's iron doors frame a blue square of water below and as we reach the stairs, the wide private beach reveals itself, promising an afternoon of fun. The shores of Musselman's Lake are comfortably shallow for a distance, and the deeper water is well marked with buoys. My young engineers found out that the sand worked well for elaborate projects of bridges and tunnels. Kayaks, canoes and paddle boats can be rented by the day users. The two parks near the parking lot include nice playgrounds. Allow for some time to play in them before heading back home! It is better to call before going to check on the water quality for the day.
