Maple Lake was a total surprise for us! We just decided to drive up the canyon and turn off a random road. We climbed to the top and saw the lake through the trees. Absolutely gorgeous view and such a peaceful spot! We’ve been back again and both times (Monday night and Friday night) were not busy. I think the reason is the road to drive to the campground is super steep, mainly one lane, and while technically paved, it has sharp turns and ledges. We were lucky to go when it wasn’t busy, I can’t imagine how fun it would be to drive up or down with lots of other cars! 😂
Lovely campground. Tree-lined, foresty, acclimated deer and turkeys. Super clean bathroom (camp toilet, no sink/shower). Near hiking.
This is a good lake and it was beautiful however the drought that we have been in has been really bad for the lake and the water is pretty far down. I spent a few hours here fishing and didn’t get a single bite. Probably my fault as the fisher man but still 😂 it is a good place and you won’t have to worry about a lot of people being there. There are also cows to look out for on the way up.
The thing I like about this campsite is that it's alllll tent camping. Motor homes can't make it up here, the roads are to narrow. There are also a couple of really beautiful hiking trails. The campsites themselves are pretty small and super close to one another. There a a few that are spacious. It feels like you're out of the city however, it's just a short drive down the canyon to find a store.
Nice secluded lake with less people. Good for fly fishing, swimming if you don't mind a few snakes sharing the water. The lake is rather small, but no boats or Motorcraft allowed, so that is nice for the youngins.
This is my favorite fishing spot. It is easy to teach fishing to kids here. Hard to not catch fish here. My kids grew up here. I said goodbye to my dog here. It was his favorite also. I absolutely love this place. Good chance you will see me there...
nice little campground that is well shaded in the trees. nice little lake and hiking trails as well.
