Try to camp in the Embarcadero sector.
When you enter the campsite (Only place with camping space with lake shore), turn left and you will find an esplanade where you can easily park. Also, if you are lucky there is a wooden log table that you can use as a dining room. In that sector you can enter the lake with the kayak and there is the entrance to the trail for the sighting of flora and fauna.
Go sailing and you will find this gem.
There is a beach just in front of the esplanade, which will take less than 20 minutes to row. If you want to be on a beach only and with the best view, this is the place. Try to take everything with you (food and dry clothes) the ideal is to leave early and return late. Use the dry bag, take your camera and enjoy the surroundings.
