Would have liked a little more information about the areas we were seeing - seemed to only be boat driving tour, not informative about what we were actually seeing. Driver stopped in 2 spots for us and our kids to swim. Overall was an excellent day on the water and very nice driver. Would recommend if just want to get out on a boat and see the other parts of the lake :)”
