Nice spots near Spark Lake

There are several spots off of the road to the Spark Lake Day Use area. The road is very rough, but taken slow does not require a 4wd.

very pretty view of the lake

i would get here pretty early next time to get a spot with a clear view of the lake, even on a monday it was pretty packed. there’s a bit of traffic in and out during the night but that’s pretty expected.
