Have some much needed relaxation time with a massage, body scrub, or facial. You can’t go wrong with this excellent resort which was completely renovated a few years ago, so it’s modern and upscale.
Other Activities To Enjoy
Other things to do by the water are fishing for Largemouth Bass, kayaking tours, and canoeing on this massive 21,000 acre lake. The average depth of the water is only around 20 feet, and the water quality is very high, so you can swim on its shores with ease. They take great care of this wonderful attraction in Montgomery. Spring break is one of the best times to go when the weather is starting to warm up, and the water temperature is around 61-70 degrees. So it’s a comfortable swim, especially with the sun shining like it normally does. Plus, it’s not as hot as it would be in the main Summer months.
