My husband was born and raised on this mountain. He and his Dad spent many hours fishing this beautiful body of water. The landscape is serene, peaceful. Fishing is active/successful. Turn off Hwy 12 at the Lower Bowns road sign, it is dirt road all the way down and is very rough in spots. A car is not advised. You will need a 4wd if trying to access the back side of the reservoir. Take bug spray!
