| The swimming beach is a great place to cool off on a hot summer day for both kids & grown-ups. Green Valley has long been a popular "fishing hole" for both bank & boat anglers. A number of fishing jetties are available, as well as two fishing piers for persons with varying ability. Two modern fish cleaning stations are located in the campground & adjacent to the beach.
Two fishing piers on both the north & south shorelines are accessible to persons with varying abilities.
In-board motors are not allowed on Green Valley Lake, this includes jet skis & jet boats.
Green Valley Lake is used for all types of boating; H2O skiing is allowed in a designated area. For safety reasons, there are special regulations governing H2O skiing. All other boats must keep out of the general traffic pattern of boats pulling skiers & must not operate at speeds greater than five miles per hour when within 50 feet of another craft or person. All H2O skiers, including those using surfboard-type devices, must wear U.S. Coast Guard approved life-saving jackets. No boat is allowed to be operated within 100 feet of shore at speeds greater than five miles per hour. Boats must also maintain a "no wake" speed when outside the ski zone. Four boat ramps on Green Valley Lake provide convenient lake access.
Green Valley's 390-acre lake draws hundreds of visitors on hot summer days. Not only does it offer excellent fishing, boating & swimming, it is also the focal point for a great variety of other outdoor recreation pursuits. |
