Lots of mosquitoes. We couldn't stay here but it is definitely a beautiful lake. Definitely need a 4x4 rig. Our VW Touareg made it. Watch the rocks! Head on up to Miners Ridge, also rough, but worth the view! *Update we FINALLY made it back 4 years later! A few mosquitoes at night. The flies were annoying. Great weekend for the end of August. Made it in our 99 Jeep!

So glad we made the 5 hour journey from Oregon to stay here! It was gorgeous. The weather was perfect 80-85 during the day, 60 ish at night. We had an amazing view of the lake from our campsite, but all of the granite lakes campsites have good views! The road to get there is not lowered car friendly but if you have some clearance and 4wheel drive you will be good to go. We will definitely be stayi...

Extremely rough road and very long to get here. Common to have blowdowns across the road. Bring your chainsaw and make sure it's sharp. This road is not maintained. Four wheel drive and high clearance highly recommended. Campground is in poor shape. You won't find much more than picnic tables, some of which have sunk into the dirt a bit, and standard crude fire pits. The lake is absolutely beautif...

Four wheel drive and high clearance highly recommended. Campground is in poor shape. You won't find much more than picnic tables, some of which have sunk into the dirt a bit, and standard crude fire pits. The lake is absolutely beautiful though and crystal clear. It's awesome very very small trout swimming around. A lot of work to get there though.

For all you hippies towing a RV with a SUV, DO NOT attempt to camp here. The road is rough going and stays snowed in until well past June usually. Great and beautiful lake, great fishing, gorgeous area. Real 4wd vehicles only.

Extremely rough road to get into, four-wheel-drive a must but well worth the drive. The lake is stocked with Eastern Brook

Not much room for many trailers. It's a good spot to be out in the woods.
