  • Bring cash to pay at the admission box.

    Site monitored by DOC officer in the early morning. Payed $8 per person. This spot has an amazing view of the lake and mountains. So pretty in the evening. The view of the stars here on a clean night is amazing.

  • Lots of elevation gain to being allowing good views of lake and valley, excellent 4 x 4 walking track.
