Very, very, long, pot hole filled, gravel road for about the last 12 to 15 miles of the trip. Highly recommend a higher clearance vehicle, as different sections of the road, make it extremely difficult for the lower clearance vehicles. The last 15 miles takes about an hour or do to drive due to having to drive so slow. Road narrows in multiple spots, and makes it difficult when passing vehicles. WITH ALL THAT SAID,THIS LAKE WAS WELL WORTH THE DRIVE AND ANXIETY! We rented a canoe, went fishing[not the best but fun for the kids and we did catch 2 rainbow trouts], went hiking/walking around the lake, floating-water is pretty shallow most of the way out until you get out closer to the middle, pretty calm and relaxing area, bonus is that it forces everyone to unplug since there is no cell service! Hope this helps the next traveler! BIG TIP BRING A PAPER MAP OR DOWNLOAD OFFLINE MAPS AS YOU WILL NEED THEM! Picture below of the lake from 2 different viewpoints, and a picture of the gravel road in a nicer part of the road! Also they have a little store at the resort that sells ice, some trinkets, and other small items you may have forgotten!
