Even in cooler and rainy weather, it's a great place to stop for a break, as the hut is self-contained and has large windows. There's also a cooking area.

A lovely fire pit right by the lake with a restroom. It's only a few minutes to town and the tram.

There is a shelter with a fireplace on the island. There are also two jetties on the island. As there is a water lock nearby, I would not go swimming. Firewood can be found at the top of the stairs, right by the entrance.
