Nice beach with grills, picnic tables,, and a small play area for the kids. The water was clean when we went and it was not crowded. I think we'll be back. There's a $5 entry fee per car.

Love launching my boat at Galts Ferry. Easy launching and normally lots of parking. Day use area is very nice as well. Buy the annual pass and save yourself a lot of time. And you can use it at all the CORP sites around the lake.
