I can't speak to the bass QUALITY, but I think it's the only lake I've fished more than once and never been shut out. And I think it'd be a great place to take kids. It's a nice, quiet spot, and once in a while you get some great nature scenes. The woods around it are full of deer. I once saw a buck come running out of the woods, dive into the water, swim about 10 yards out, then turn around and swim back then disappear back into the woods.
