The bench is unfortunately history… but it remains a great place to watch the sunrise or moonrise

Unfortunately, the view from here is no longer there, everything is overgrown. So it makes sense to take the "path" directly along the shore to get a nice view.

Nice little beach, not far from the dam, so it's quite busy here. There are nicer spots further away from the dam.
