I wanna give it 4 or 5 starts but I didn't get to enjoy most of the park due to the government shutdown... We were traveling from San Antonio to Las Vegas and just happened to see the lake from the freeway just after we passed the dam... We got off the freeway and stopped at a couple of the parking areas to take pictures of the lake. But when we got all the way down to the park entrance it was closed of with a sign referring to the government shutdown...
