Garrison Lake

We went to Lake Garrison a few days ago — my husband and his sisters used to go there as kids, so he wanted to check it out for old times sake… The beach area is pretty small but it seemed to accommodate everyone that was there. There are three platforms in the water that the kids can jump off of. You can rent paddleboats, canoes, kayaks… Our kids had fun on the paddleboats — $ 7 for half an hour. There are plenty of tables for picnicking but make sure you bring your own grill or you will have to rent one like we did ($ 20 for all day — but we only used it for an hour). There is also a snack bar that looked pretty well equipped, but we didn’t get anything since we brought our own food. Overall, it was a nice place and I would definitely recommend it, especially to families with young kids.
