We visited here for the first time just to hang out for the day. It is a very pretty area. Saw some deer on the way in, bucks still have thick velvet on. The road in from Mtn View is nice on the WY side, then a little rough on the UT side. Pretty narrow in most spots, but a decent road if your not in a hurry. The lake is very low, but still pretty deep to swim, kayak, & fish. Couldn't touch bottom with 6ft oars past about 20 ft out from shore. It's cold as expected, but not freezing. The only bad about our trip, was the wind. It blew the whole time we were there, & hard. Don't know if thats normal, but makes kayaking a little tough. The fishing was good, although I never broke out my fly rod due to the wind. We caught a few trout from 12-18 inches just on worms & others we talked to seemed to catch their limit too. The camp host was a very nuce guy, Michael. He is a bit leary of atv's & motorcycles. He has had quite a few just speed through the campground. We brought a couple dirt bikes & a tote goat. He was fine with us as long as we kept it slow through the campground. There are some nice riding trails around the area, just outside the campground, where we could turn it up & get dirty. We are planning to go back & stay for a couple days, instead of just a day trip.
