Knowledgeable guide and beautiful surroundings. Learned a lot about how the lake was formed and the flow of water.

Our guide Abby was energetic and enthusiastic to share local knowledge with us. She was well prepared and this tour was a wonderful way to see the area in a half day format. We had a nice sized group of 6 .
