In summer, this 2,800-acre lake dotted with several marinas and sandy beaches is festooned with colorful umbrellas and the graceful arcs of water-skiers and wakeboarders.

The Cove has a boat launch. The beaches at Pineview Trailhead, North Arm, and Spring Creek are free and have restrooms but no other amenities.
