Everyone right, this place rocks. This lake is great đź‘Ťand the camp site is nice.The camp host was very nice and helpful.
Beautiful lake, apparently good fishing for little brook trout. Many campsites available, but it’s the only one of the 3 lakes in the area that charges day use fees.
Very gorgeous lake with little to no people compared to other lakes in the area. Was disappointed they charge 6 dollars for day use parking and just drove through.
Camped here a couple years ago and it's so pretty and secluded. Came for the day last weekend and had a great time catching fish. Good sized and the camp host was so nice. There was a fee for parking but it was only $6
