Beautiful, quiet little lake with excellent camp sites and clean pit toilets .... a hidden gem.
It is just an awesome place to camp. Bring a camper, tent, can bring your horse too. They have camp sites just for horse owner's. Great trails to walk or ride. Nice beach area for swimming and sun bathing.
Drove up to the lake to checkout the 6 camp sites setup for horses. Looked really nice, so our brother & sister-in-law are planning a camp trip with their horse in the next month or so.
