Beautiful non-motorized lake, perfect for Paddle Boarding
This place is a gem. Warm water, no motorized boats. Perfect place for paddle boarding or kayaking. If you’re into fishing the lake is stocked with trout. Multiple dispersed camping spots that are only accessible by boarding or swimming.
Early morning to afternoon is best as the wind picks up in the late afternoon.

Deuces Spruces
It was a great camping spot! It was quite the drive up the canyon, however it was worth it! With the current fire restrictions you aren't able to have fires unless it's an official campground like Spruces. I enjoyed having our own personal space and privacy as well! Great camp manager who was always willing to help!
