Currently, I just have some still photos, but check back soon to see more photos of the world famous, Goat Island!

 

With over 350 miles of shoreline, there are plenty of places to tie up your boat and enjoy some swimming and sunning, but no other place on the lake is as much THE spot as Goat Island!  Every weekend during the summer, you will find recreationalists in boats and pwc's circling around the island, tied up around it, or tied up to it!  It's a great place to meet friends, have some drinks, play some games, listen to music, and just have a great time! If you want to get a spot, you better show up early!
	Many times, people will explore the island and it's many boulders around it, but nothing is as nice as the big boulders on the northwest side of the island.  Local "artists" have painted some faces on the rocks, and if you climb up onto them, you get a great view of the lake towards the Goodman Lake Road Bridge.  Boaters beware though, when the lake is high, there are boulders under the water on the northwestern side of the island that can sneak up and pop the bottom of your boats.
When the lake is near full pond, boats usually tie up to trees on the bank of the island, but when the lake drops down to around 4' below full pond, Goat Island has a beautiful beach.  Boaters pull up on shore and play horse shoes, throw frisbees or football, and I've even seen a volleyball game going on one time. Next time you are at High Rock, ride up into the Crane Creek area and stop in at Goat Island!  Everyone is welcome, but beware, local Sheriff deputies and Wildlife officers patrol the area quite often.  If you plan to drink, make sure you have a designated driver,.  But above all else, have some fun!
