We are there at least one day a week. We try to make it out there on either saturday or sunday. As far as it being crowded. You will find yourself in a line if you get there after 10:30 but that just takes about 5-10 minutes to get through. Once your on the water, you will find it to be smooth on certain parts of the lake and REALLY choppy on others. The more boats the more choppy. There is no wind for the most part. And if there is wind, its a really mild breaze that comes in the latter part of the afternoon. Its almost pleasent as apposed to be bothersome. All and all I cant really complain. Its a 30 minute drive from my house and its cheaper than building and maintaining a pool in your backyard. The water is clean and refreshing and so is the air. You should give it a shot.
