It's a place only a mother can love, but has its own desert charm. Fossils plentiful for those who enjoy looking for them. Water levels very low in 2022. Some vault facilities but in need of upgrading. Mud around waters edge makes launching a kayak impossible as you will sink up like quicksand. Highway noise can be heard at night from entire area. Great views of the distant red desert Oregon Buttes area.

Small forest service property where they seem to mostly stage fire suppression operations in summer or during a wildfire situation. They have always allowed the public access across the property to get to the forest lands beyond. Not much more to say about it.

Beautiful place to kayak around.
