I have posted pictures of Lake Ellen before, but I always marvel at the beauty of this small lake.
We can leave the house and head up Lake Ellen Road and be to the lake in twenty minutes.
The lake has two small campgrounds on either end and a swimming dock. No motorized boats are allowed, but the dirt road on the south end is usually peppered with rigs and people standing on the shore fishing.
There is a small island that people swim to and often stay there to sun themselves on the warm rocks.
Every time we visit Lake Ellen it is worth the trip. My favorite time to visit is when we have it to ourselves. That doesn't happen very often!
