Boat traffic is the main hazard here, so deploy a surface marker buoy before ascending and stay aware of your position relative to the lake lanes. The on-site car park, toilets, and café make this a comfortable base, but cold water is a year-round reality on this lake, so a drysuit or a thick wetsuit with gloves is strongly recommended.
