My husband and I spent a long weekend in one of the first-come, first-served sites along the shore—we were lucky enough to grab the very last one. It might not have been the best site, but it was very private and quiet. The bird-watching is incredible here. We spent the entire weekend watching Ospreys, Bald Eagles, and Golden Eagles fishing in the lake, while a flock of about 30 Great American Pelicans floated below catching whatever the birds of prey above would drop.
