It looks just like Bay Tree Lake but it is about 20 minutes away. Jones Lake first developed in the 1930s as a segregated park for blacks, now surrounds both Jones lake and Salters lake. There is a nice Visitors Center with much information about bay lakes. One difference I noted, there are many Atlantic White Cedars and Cypress trees here. I saw none at Bay Tree Lake. The Atlantic White Cedars are very large compared to the Eastern red Cedars I am familiar with in the piedmont area.
