Remarks: Ok, this is seriously one of the most beautiful places
on the planet. With crystal clear waters, towering cliffs and small rocky islands, deluxe
facilities, this lake caters to PWC'ers like no other! The water is cool, but not too cold
to play around. Carving near the waterline can be an awesome experience (not for the faint
of heart!) This is currently my #1 favorite place to jetski, I highly recommend it to
anyone with a sense of adventure and beauty. "In the midst of desert, the park offers both lush green lawns and
rocks for climbing. Miles of horse trail are open for day use. A hiking trail leads to
Northrup Lake, a natural forest area with water access open 24 hours a day." That's
how the park service put's it and I think it works quite well :) The park has seven boat
ramps at three locations on Banks Lake and 320 feet of dock for boat handling only. A
marine pumpout is available.
