Located in the heart of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, privacy is easily found throughout this secluded park. This small, scenic lake is stocked with trout and also is popular for kokanee salmon snagging. Boating is limited to electric motors and camping vehicles are restricted to 18-feet and under. Picnic sites are furnished with tables and fireplaces, but no drinking water.Visitors are reminded this is a PACK-IN, PACK-OUT park.
