Summit lake

A very beautiful and relaxing area. Road coming from the south and wrapping around the lake is best driven with a 4x4 vehicle. The lake has plenty of opportunities such as boating, paddle boarding, hiking, camping. The camp sites are close to the dusty road and are far and few. Definitely a spot to come back too. Wet weather could cause problems on the road in the off season
