Nice

1 mile hike in. Like the other reviewer said, good place to be alone. Vaulted toilet. I used the first site. There was trash in the fire pit that I took out with me. Caught a couple of big rainbow trout off the dock. (I'm from MN so I mainly fish for walleye and crappie. First ever rainbow trout for me so I don't know how big they can get.) Fish were jumping out of the water all night long and throughout the day which was pretty cool. About five or so boats pulled into the bay in the morning to fish. Straight across the lake someone was hunting ducks and geese with their dog. (I also hunt waterfowl so I liked seeing that.) An older couple with their dog came through for a walk who were pretty nice as well. Close the gate when you walk in. :)
