A lovely hiking trip. Gorgeous view, even in a cloudy day.
This was a beautiful hike to the back country campground. Beautiful lake views and smooth grounds. There is a potty, but bring your own TP. It is about a 3 mile hike to the lake. No dogs or drones allowed on this trail.
2 hours trail round you can ride with mountain bikes too.
Nice peaceful and quiet here. Day pass was required when we went. Worth waking up at 6am for. It was quite a long bumpy drive to get to parking lot, but hike was relatively short. 6km round-trip.
