A small, spring-fed lake surrounded by hardwood forest, located right along the Waterloo–Pinckney Trail. The shoreline hosts a rustic campground with both tent sites and a reservable yurt, making it a convenient overnight option for backpackers. Its quiet setting and easy lake access make it a popular spot for fishing, paddling, or simply enjoying a sunset before settling in for the night.
