Swimming
Regarding
swimming in the crystal clear water of our spring fed lake…..we
have a large dock which is 16' X 20'
Sandy Bottom
Beside Dock at Shoreline
On the sides of
the dock at the shoreline the water is sand bottomed and 6 inches
deep.
The children
can play on the sandy area around the sides of the dock. The water
gradually gets deeper as you move out toward the end of the dock.
Sandy Shallow
Area For Little Children
We have had
children of all ages enjoy the waterfront. The little ones learn to
find their confidence at the water’s edge and play in the sandy
area where the land meets the shoreline.
We recommend
life jackets for all ages and expect parent supervision at all
times.
Dive from the
Dock
At the farthest
end of the dock from the shore the water is approximately 5' deep
but deepens rapidly thus permitting diving off the end of the dock..
There is a ladder for convenience to climb back up easily at the end
of the dock.
Relax on The Dock
You can choose the shade of the magnificent pine trees close to the shoreline of the dock…..or move a few feet away from the shore and enjoy the glorious
sunshine!
Over the years we have had grandchildren and dozens of visiting children and youth enjoy the beach and water. They all love the 'splash island' located between the docks.
Two Canoes For
Your Use
There is one
dock at the edge of the property simply for the canoes; that way
there is a clear view of
all people on the main dock.
People of all
ages love the clear spring fed water of Patterson Lake.
Splash Island
Our young
visitors have fallen in love with ‘Splash Island’ which was
recently replaced by a new unit. It’s a great place to swim to….
and all the children enjoy their own special water spot where they
jump, play, chat, and connect with each other.
Children’s
Play Area
When children are not at the beach they can play in the park above the cottage where there are swings, a slide and a sandbox for the younger children. This area is well shaded.
In front of the cottage is a large open grassy space where children do have fun with simple games, balls, hoops and nature activities. They can all catch fish, frogs and see nature at its best.
An outdoor open fireplace with plenty of free firewood makes campfires an exciting end of the day. Do not forget to bring the marshmallows! |
