I drove through in early October and stopped several times to take photos. It was so tranquil and smelled so clean. Never smelled anything quite like it. Wish I had more time to explore.
Don’t go unless you’re on a dirt bike or in a Polaris. This is a rugged dirt and gravel road with steep inclines and sharp curves. Nothing exciting to see, at least in May when there are no leaves yet on the aspen trees, they look dead. Had to turn around at the lake because of mud and drive the same way back. Took way too much time, saw nothing and went straight for a car wash.
We’ve had a cabin here since I was little and it’s been a wonderful spot to come. Summers offer hiking, ATV rides, boating and fishing, while winters are great for snowmobiling. You’ll also find the frozen lake covered with ice fishers every Saturday.
Fish Lake national Park was definitely an interesting stop. If you’re cool with that country camping 🏕 , there’s some mountain men with guns camping around the corner. If you’re a little uncomfortable with the other side of country this might not be your style
Fish lake was a great place to camp. I stayed in the frying pan camp sites. The camp sites are clean with fresh water spouts and fire pits. Restrooms are clean and flush. They have tons of trails and out door activities. It does get cold at night so I would take warmer clothes for the evening and a thicker sleeping bag.
