Visited the scenic Ironhorse campsite – great for boating.

Water Activities:

The vast lake's mild waves can make shallow areas muddy. For clear water swimming, kayak deeper in.

Boat Rentals:

Government-operated rentals aren't cheap – kayaks at $80 all-day; boats $600.

Parking:

Day-picnickers pay $8 parking. Campers included.

Campsite:

Pet-friendly. Fine soil means tents need cleaning. Restrooms are clean. Beware of abundant burrs for pet owners. Temperature swings from 104°F day to 50°F night; pack accordingly.

Nearby:

'Angels Camp Town' (15-min drive) has old Western-style buildings, cheaper kayak rentals, and a supermarket for supplies.
