There are many places to eat on and around the Lake with a great variation in food, atmosphere and prices.
Some restaurants get a little crowded in the summer, but that is changing with new restaurants opening and old ones expanding. We have heard some rather heated arguments over who has the best breakfast and/or the best hamburgers on the Lake!
We decided to put this list in alphabetical order so you can form your own opinions about each one.
