It was operated by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation. State Recreation Areas are operated by consignors. Fees are $12. admission to the park. Plus launch fee or annual permit.
Sometimes this has been a great place for sail boats.
It can also be a rough lake and not so suitable for swimming or diving because of visibility. It is under surveillance of the U S Coast Guard. Mussel quarantine in effect.
