John Short:
It's not only accessible but it's very accessible. For some bizarre reason the County put in a boat ramp, so get out there and paddle around a bit. Pick up some trash left by some people and storm runoff while your at it.



Bud Eskew:
I was born and grew up in the community surrounding this lake from 1955 to 1969. Too bad it is not more easily accessible.



Mark Gray:
Buena Vista Lake is just a tiny pond in a city park. There is no reason for tourists to visit unless you happen to be staying in the neighborhood and want to take a walk.
