Reviews

Rent a kayak or bring your own vessel to meander the water of this small manmade slough. Sag is a great place for beginners to dip their toes into watersports or try activities like birding! There are tons of shorebirds and birds of prey here thanks to the many acres of forest and waterways surrounding the lake. Watch for frogs and turtles along the edges! There is plenty of parking at the boat launch during the week, but summer weekends can get busy. There's also a lot of grassy hangout space to dry out stuff after a paddle or stretch out before/after.
