If you're camping, the hike-in sites have some carts to help you bring supplies in, which is nice. Unfortunately, some folks ignore signage and horde the carts at their campsites, so if you have your own cart you're probably better off.
The park is at 99% water capacity, which means the water is really, really high. Which in turn means there is hardly any Beach area. Most is covered with water. We went on the 3th of July and we just could not find any Beach area to play in. Since we don't have any water toys our plan was just for our 2 kids to play in the sand. We couldn't even find parking. Unless we wanted to walk a mile under 90 degree weather with a 6 and 2 year old on top of umbrella, towels and sand toys. We went to the main office to request a refund and as the government agency they are said that we should have known it would be crowded because it is close to the holiday. Sure, we knew that in advanced but we didn't know the water levels would be so high and drown pretty much most of the beach. I think they should be a little more considerate and flexible when natural circumstances such as this happens. We couldn't boat, or canoe or paddle board we just wanted sand and there wasn't any! There was another entrance going a little bit more down the hill it is called the damn observation point. If you keep going they have another entrance gate which only costs $7 instead of $10 at the main gate. The parking lot was almost empty and they have a smaller ramp for water toys. It just didn't have any Beach access. The second picture I posted is the smaller ramp on the other entrance gate I am talking about. A great less known gate to avoid the crowds
Great water, not too crowded save for big events. Park staff is very friendly, bathrooms are pretty clean.
A good place to take a picnic and hang out and swim. The good water (for skiing) is early in the morning, especially on weekends. It's a good go-to lake that is plenty of fun for family boating. After 11 AM on weekends it tends to get a little bit crazy and not everybody pays the most attention. They do offer a decently well kept beach and well kept powered campgrounds.
A uniquely beautiful place! My friends and I had a fantastic day with our kayak and hired SUP, very peaceful and relaxing as well as a great spot for water sports.
The hike-in sites are also really close together- i don't think there are any sites where you cant look around and see another site from it, which seems to kinda defeat the purpose of "hike-in"
Great beach, pavilions and grassy areas. Reservations can be made 6 mos in advance. Rentals available include boats, jet skis, paddle boards, kayaks, and flyboards (like a personal water jet pack). Aqua zone is awesome, 3 hours was plenty of time to make every muscle sore most in our group were pretty work out in about 1.5 he's, a few went 2-3. Easily accommodated a family reunion of 30 people. Few conveniences available at the park, but Kimball Junction, Park City, and Heber are all within 30 min drive.
