Big Wall Lake

We stopped here when we drove from NY to CO and it was fine. We got here late and left early in the morning so we never saw the place in light. For what it was it worked for us.

This place was really bad probably because of the low water levels. In very hot temperatures the lake would have a a smell. There is people here who hunt ducks
