Swim, fish, and paddle to your heart’s content (the lake has a 6mph speed limit; gas motors are not prohibited but electric and trolling motors or paddles are encouraged to maintain a peaceful atmosphere). There are 3 access points on the island to land/launch, and a public boat launch at the bottom of Harper’s Ferry Landing Rd. Parking is available at the public beach (Cleveland Beach).

Loon sightings are common, and we ask that if any evidence of nesting is observed that you please not disturb. Enjoy!

I love camping here, it’s private and nice to be away from the crowds. It’s fun to swim and paddle around the lake, very peaceful.

The island is beautiful, and it was a great place to get away for a couple of days.

Be prepared to take multiple trips across the lake if you bring lots of supplies. The canoe ride to the island was amazing and calming, and it was great to take the canoe out and just enjoy the ride. The island, the sunsets and rises, and the views of the mountains make this spot absolutely gorgeous. There are lots and lots of frogs that take shelter here, and it’s extremely soothing to fall asleep to them. There are many things to do around here, and it’s a perfect location. Many mountains less than a half hours drive away, many stores for all your needs right off the coast, and the lake, although populated with many houses around, was very quiet and relaxing. There’s not a negative thing I can say about this trip. Levi was extremely nice and patient with the constant and annoying questions some friends and I had, he’s an amazing host.

Beautiful island

We loved camping on the lake. We had an amazing time. We saw a few harmless water snakes, a nesting loon, ospreys, turtles, and frogs. There was plenty of firewood and a picnic table. The campsite was clean and flat. Would definitely recommend, and would love to stay again in the future
