Lake History:
This is a lake with a very rich history and after one visit, it's easy to see why it is so popular. We greatly enjoyed our time on this lake and look forward to going back soon. The quality of the fishing was top notch and overall, this was a really great experience. The lake is very pet friendly, and the marina's staff will go all out to make sure that you are having a good time.
The name of the lake comes from a big shootout that occurred in this area after a prison break in the 1800's. Things are a lot quieter now and you can truly enjoy a slice of the good life during your stay. The campgrounds are well maintained and all of the facilities are in terrific shape.
