Enter from the North and stay very close (100') off the west shore for the first several hundred yards, there is a large shoal to the east. Exit the same way, I wouldn't exit to the South as Navionics suggested.Take the circuitous routing with deep water all the way in. Lots of swing room, there were two boats the night we were there, room for many more. Quiet. Some Easterly protection but not much South or West.

Loved this spot. Just a gorgeous place. We dinghied across to the state park dock to walk the trails there.
