Beauty abounds up in this high county lake. Can be a very rough ride, the blood suckers are always out in force but the water is cold and the air is clear. The camp ground can get crowded quick as it is a very small one, with pit toilets.

The lake is gorgeous , but this is not a place for "soft" camping. The road in requires a high clearance, 4x4 vehicle because it is a seriously steep, rough, potholed, rutted, rocky, unmaintained dirt track. The mosquitos may be the worst in the state (not an exageration). The campground is extremely limited: only 3 sites with picnic tables, a vault toilet and an unpaved boat "launch" appropriate only for kayaks and SUPs. No fires, and no trash cans available. The water here is as pristine as any alpine lake can get and there are very few fish (not stocked), and the people who make the journey up and brave the mosquitos go for the solitude and quiet and beauty. So PLEASE leave the motorized watercraft at home. Those turquoise crystal clear waters won't stay that way for long if gas engines start finding their way onto the lake.
