Most of the sites back up to the lake, which is really a large bald cypress swamp, deeper thanks to the dam. There were only 4 other RV's here when we arrived on 29 Nov, so we had no problem finding a site. We chose site 21. Date of visit: Nov 2007 |

The Watson Mill sits atop the dam, and serves as a covered bridge as well as a sawmill and grist mill. The grist mill has been restored and is operational today. |

This shows some of the mill mechanism. |
