    Forde Lake

    Nice spot for a few nights

    Short trip from the town of Loomis. Only a mile or so of gravel road. The campground has 10 sites. It sits between Forde lake and a pond we call reflection. It is or was a part of an irrigation system. The gravel road is fairly busy with plenty of dust boiling up. I recommend not taking the first site in even though it looks like it would accommodate a 40 ft rig. Four of the sites looked able to handle our 27 ft trailer. A few are slide in camper sized. Not busy during our stay and was a less improved area near by with more sites. Remember lake and pond so mosquitoes are present.

    Sidley Lake

    Beautiful Lakes

    Loons and Coyotes are great music. Beautiful Lakes (Sidley & Molson) near historical Old Molson! Definitely dispersed camping in roadside pullouts with outhouse supplied by Fish & Game. Traffic is very low even though they were trucking out hay while we were there. Fishing slow in August but nice size and were told the town has an ice fishing tournament every winter. We met some great locals and were told of some of the horrible things some dispersed campers have done, come on folks....pack everything in and pack out everything too!! Verizon cell reception was present but the Canadian cell towers are strongest so beware.
