Enjoy a picnic, non-motorized boating, fishing, swimming or even scuba diving. The park hosts a campground with a bathhouse and amenities for your camper or tent. You\u2019ll find fun recreation areas, covered picnic shelters and hiking trails. During the summer, rent a paddleboard or pedal boat from the park!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-teams=\"true\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Notice: Fishing is NOT permitted at Lea Lake or the Lea Lake Day Use Area;
