Beautiful Views
Beautiful day hiking and swimming.
Perfect for a weekend escape
Just a short drive from downtown CB, lake Irwin is absolutely gorgeous. Situated on the lake with stunning mountain views in every direction. Zero cell service means you can focus on pretty much any outdoor activity you can think of. Lake access for kayaks, SUP, swimming, some good fishing spots…
Beautiful fall colors
It was great. Don’t come here and change that.
