Great spot. Very Shallow until you’re quite far out. Half a mile, 15ish minutes up a steepish hill to get there and a mix of mud and rocks to get in. You can see the sunset behind the dam if you time it right. There is however a drain up by the dam to the right you’ll see it as you walk up the reservoir to entry point at the far end, so be sure to stay well away from that area. Water was low on my coat so drain wasn’t in use.
