Water sport enthusiasts love the lakes diverse offerings, from boating to jet skiing and canoeing to swimming.

Picnicking is also a favorite pastime, as is lounging on the beach, boating and fishing. Facilities Piedmont Park Campground offers 97 sites, including many with electric and water hookups. Additional amenities include a dump station, hot showers, picnic shelters, a boat ramp, playgrounds and a swimming area.Natural Features Visitors can sit under the shade of a sycamore or maple tree and look out across the lake to the lush but rugged terrain of the Ozark foothills. The vicinity is noted for the grandeur of its hills, natural springs, and general outdoor beauty.
