Look for Bald Eagles

Binoculars are available in the sunroom for viewing bald eagles hunting on the lake. You'll note that they are very big and fly differently than buzzards.

There is no diving or jumping off of the island at any time or anywhere on the island into the lake. The lake can be very shallow and as low as two feet in some areas around the island.

Swimming - Wear water shoes and don't climb on rocks

Be careful of very sharp zebra mussels and wear water shoes when swimming around the island. Never walk up or climb on the rocks around the island. The zebra mussels cling to the rocks and will cut your hands and feet.
