We love Hardy lake! Not too big, not too small. Have a beach, fishing spots, camping, etc.... everyone is always friendly, and if we have boat trouble, someone is always willing to help out, or tow us in lol
Small to medium size campground near the lake that ( at the time of this review) allow 2 cars per site that give it bonus . The only negative is they have two Campground Host which are literally 5 sites away from each other, with the one next to the shower house taking up a reservable camping spot that would be suitable for a handicapped or older camper.
Has an amazing beach for summer swimming, hiking, exploring, and cooking out! Water is pretty nice and clean and not real mucky on your feet! Got a few trails that have a great lakeside view. Private pull offs with grills to cook on. Hiking trails are easily accessible and not too rough on the feet or body. All in all Hardee lake has much more to offer, especially if you have a boat, but it's a great place for those who don't as well. Highly recommended! Great for the whole family! Two thumbs up 👍👍
We really enjoyed our time at Hardy Lake. Having a state park pass (annual membership for $50 to get into parks is well worth the investment). The lake didn't get too crowded and the weather was perfect each time we went. The restrooms were open and had soap! We kept our distance from people even in the water. The temperature was amazing. You can grill, play st the park, have a picnic (small beach looking area), build sand castles.... Had so much fun!!!!
Beautiful lake that has a lot of good views. Not a very big place when it comes hiking trails though. It does have a few trails but in total maybe 5 miles worth. But it does have a nice beach that would be fun to visit during Summer days. Seems like a great place to go fishing at.
