[@CissyandBud]

I like the way you use the map to show how it is all laid out. Gorgeous trees and water views. Looks so peaceful. Yikes, good tip about the shoes. That glass piece was huge! Love you guys "on the water" 😂😂👍😂👍😂😂

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thank you for the compliments. We love being on the water, obviously, so, that's why I am not a fan of Winter lol! Man, I gotta be somewhere during the Winter, like Florida!

[@CissyandBud]

@@SippyCupAdventures YES! Come to FL!! We can meet up. :)

[@hymiesplace]

Nice video. Good to see clear skies and no smoke. That is a a big lake that looks a little empty. Beautiful area though shame about the glass and other things hiding beneath. Thanks for showing your part of the world. 😁😎

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thank you Hymie! The lake is a little low which is natural for this time of year. We are praying for a rainier season this year for sure.

[@davidechevarria75]

Great video, I am proud to say I live in that area, about 2 minutes from that park and love it.

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Awesome! You are very fortunate to live so close to such a beautiful spot. I appreciate you watching! 😎

[@HouseResortLiving]

You captured the shimmering water beautifully, I also liked the video shots through the windshield. The editing made the video fun to watch and the cartoon characters on the lake were a nice touch. The inclusion of Google Earth images and the description of different campgrounds were informative. I enjoyed the video very much. Andrew

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thank you Andrew for your detailed response. I especially love that you noticed the shimmering water as that was exactly the point!

[@CookingWithJimmyK]

Another beautiful place! Thanks for bringing California to us.

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Jim, did you say you used to live in Cali?

[@CookingWithJimmyK]

@@SippyCupAdventures Never lived there but frequently visited LA, San Fran and San Diego on business. It is beautiful. I have to experience Northern Cali though!

[@paultheaccidentalminimalis2731]

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thank you Paul for watching!

[@DestinationUnknownTravelVlog]

It looks absolutely beautiful there!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Yes it is, thank you for watching. A lot to see out here in Cali!

[@DestinationUnknownTravelVlog]

See now that is my kinda water right there! hahaaha BTW Happy Anniversary guys!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thank you! Typically, we do a weekend venture, but just stuck to day trips this year. 31 years! Whaaaat??

[@BoobooOreo]

Happy Anniversary! I've heard about this place a lot. Thanks for the tour! 😊 Been wanting to go there to check the sites out if possible. We always go to collins lake and wanted a different scenery :)

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thanks for watching! I hope you found my video helpful if you're going for the day! We are not campers lol! It's beautiful no matter how you will enjoy the lake.

[@bdwdreamweaver]

Looks like a lovely place to have a short day trip and great advice to wear shoes else get a nasty cut and spoil the day

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Yes it is a great day spot. Some lakes are better than others with their day use areas, and Sly Park definitely does it right. Thank you.

[@DestinationsChronicles]

I can see why the Pinecone area is popular. It's a bit away from the main road and has that sweet little isthmus. 🌲

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Yes. I had to look up what an isthmus was lol! 😂

[@DestinationsChronicles]

@@SippyCupAdventures :D

[@BK-xk1ur]

Looks beautiful. How are the bathrooms? Do they keep them clean?

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Yes! They’re individual vault bathrooms. At least at this day use area that is.

[@ayadventures6553]

Looks so peaceful! Did you guys get the place to yourself or something? - A.

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Yes, for the most part! Sly Park has a lot of room in their Day Use areas, but of course, this was early October, so there were not a lot of people. We didn't dare go during the Summer for obvious 2020 reasons. Thanks for watching!

[@vuthytaing8797]

Hi there, I'm trying to camp this yr. What is the best water front area to camp with a camper?

[@weareanjunafamily1653]

Hey there! Well, we don't camp, but I would believe, and from what I have seen, the Pinecone or Pinecone Strip has lake-front views and easy access to the water. The later in the year you camp, the closer to the "belly" of the lake by the Pinecone area is where you want to be, for water levels, although, this year is starting off very well for water and will likely have a full lake, late into the year.

[@justingutierrez1690]

Is this a first come first serve camp ground?

[@SippyCupAdventures]

First come, first serve DAY-USE area, yes. This is the biggest day-use area, and the first one you come to after paying at the gate. There are multiple day-use area. IF you're looking for camping, you'll have to look it up. I may have it in the description (the camping website) TY!
