About this campground

This easily accessible mid-elevation lake is nestled in a very picturesque alpine setting. The short easy trail hike into the lake (through an old-growth forest stand) allows for packing in a small inflatable raft. This is probably the best way to fish this lake. Due to the easy access and closeness to the major metro areas located along the I-5 corridor, this lake can get a lot of visitors during the Summer months.
