DeGray Lake

We arrived at DeGray Lake Resort in time for dinner. The next morning, we rented a fishing boat and zoomed around the lake. We stopped for lunch near the dam, then parked near the swimming beach and played in the water for a while. We cruised to the end of one of the narrow channels before heading back to the lodge.
