Carlyle Lake Reviews
I grew up here, this lake has a lot of untapped potential. It is very beautiful to look at and fun for boating. The beach was always a little bit muddy. There are a few decent trails and campgrounds. I think that if someone bought the entire thing and was able to develop around it a little bit, it could be a wonderful destination for surrounding communities. The dam offers a nice walk and view, overall I would say it is nice to stop at if you find yourself in Carlyle but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
I live there. It's a 30 foot deep mud puddle, at that is the deepest point. When we are in drought you can walk across most of it. And it's Carlyle Lake, not Lake Carlyle. Maybe in some resource it's officially listed as Lake first but for everyone within 50 miles of it we call it Carlyle Lake.
