I have recently traveled through this lake during the day, which is only notable because I normally am there during the night to photograph stars because of the lack of night lighting. But I've discovered several areas within the lake area that are great for daytime nature photography. It's easy to access and had road access around the lake.

I took the drive up to the overlook at night to capture the stars so I wasn't able to see much passed my camera lens but if you are interested in night photography, this is a wild ride and excellent vantage point. I hope to make it back during daylight hours.
