Nestled near Johnston, Saylorville Lake presents a scenic getaway with its sprawling shores. This recreational area lacks a traditional sandy beach but compensates with lush green spaces surrounding the water. Visitors can engage in a variety of activities such as fishing, boating, picnicking, and bird watching. Saylorville Lake has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does not offer services like lifeguards on duty, bathroom access, and does not permit dogs. Since accessibility for disabled visitors and camping are also not available, and activities such as surfing and nudity are prohibited, visitors are encouraged to come prepared for a day focused on the natural beauty and water-based activities without some of the common beach convenience.
