Irons Fork

We had watched videos on YouTube from a couple of years back about irons fork. I’ll bet a couple of years ago it was nice and passable with a class a or something smaller. It isn’t now.

The road going in from the main rd is littered with tons of trash on both sides. As you approach the rec area, the road has a heavy rain wash about a foot and a half deep.

Broken cement that may have been a bridge or culvert lay scattered about and it’s very difficult to pass.

Once in, we saw what could only be described as a homeless encampment. I don’t know how else to describe it. Watch where you and your dog walk if you decide to go.

The place was beautiful and had plenty of lake access points too. I went in mid July so it was hot and humid but I was able to swim a bit to help that. Some nice mature trees were there but didn’t get in the way of our view of the lake. There was even a pit toilet! There seemed to be about 5 sites, each with a grill and fire ring. More spaces are available near the road as well. Bugs weren’t much of an issue but we did use bug spray. There was a lil bit of trash from previous campers, some of which made it into the campfire. I’m happy we visited, but not happy about the humidity- I am thankful we were able to sleep in the car though! There was only one other person there. It is black bear country, so just be smart about your waste and food storage. We had about 1-2 bars of AT&T coverage, but the road leading in has some better signal.
