AMAZING DISPERSED CAMPING! Best little known find I have run into in so long! Great little lake filled with a ton of fish!!
Went fishing on October 8th and had great luck! Definitely going again!
Beautiful little spot! There were quite a few RV's and campers there but tent camping is the way to go! There's no running water so bring your own. It's a first come first serve site so get there early. No garbage dumpsters so pack it out and leave it looking beautiful.
