Tips from the Community

April 21, 2024, Water source

There is a water source here, a small well with a plastic pipe. When I visited during the spring the water seemed to have a good flow to it.

Nice shelter by the lake! The shelter is well equiped with a saw, an axe, buckets as well as a picnic table. There is a fireplace right in front of the shelter as well as a separate firepit down by the water. There is a small outhouse behind the shelter and another one located a few hundred meters north along the trail, when crossing the small gravel road. There is a small swimming spot along the shore just south of the shelter.
