Description
An excellent climbing area. Deep-water soloing is available during the warmer months when the water is up. From October - April the water is usually down and you some incredible sport and trad routes are displayed.
An easy approach and can be quite crowded on weekends. There is a lot of route development going on here so make sure you are on the correct route.
The link below can be used to see the levels of the water.

Don Miron, Masuko, Noanmeyet, Bongo, Cowboy, Gimme a Clown, Blaze, Mojo are accessible when the level is at 1625 or less. At 1625 most of the other routes are all still inaccessible. At 1620, the other routes are accessible. You'll have to rock hop through a muddy section, but no wading.
Getting There
Turn off the Whippoorwhill road to the left from rt. 19 (heading north from Fayetteville). Stay off of private drives as the road bends to the right then turns to a dirt road bending left. Park here, hike down the dirt road and trend left down a gully to the crag/lake. There is a lot of private property adjacent to this approach and landowners are NOT psyched on climbers trespassing. Please be respectful, stay off private property, and pick up some trash on your way out.
