Enjoy scenic mountain views while fishing for trout at the two small mountain lakes in a non-motorized or electric-powered boat. This is a wonderful location for hiking, camping, kayaking, and paddleboarding. There are two campgrounds offering a mix of car accessible sites and walk-in tenting sites.
