Remote site, few if any power boats due to rough road. Adequate visibilty but little attraction beyond that.

Stocked with fingerling Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. Use of small boat or floatables work best, especially when the lake level is drawn down.

In late summer when the lake is drawn down, its a muddy walk to the water near the boat access point at the lower (southern) end of the lake. Earlier in the season, the water level is adequate but there is no developed boat launch. Small boats or car top boats work best.
