Love this place if you hit it right. Always catch a lot of Tigers. Roads maybe terrible but I hike over from Blind Lake when I fish here. Like the exercise.

Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

Terrible roads, the deadfall and boulder strewn road (which I think is actually a trail) makes access to this lake difficult most years even on a 4-wheeler. Also this lake winter kills most years.
