This reservoir is located between Council and Tamarack Sawmill. Only a few miles from New Meadows. The drive in is 3miles on a gravel road. The road loops around the lake.
Drug the wife up to this lake. Heard from a friend that it was basically the wildlife land of milk&honey and it lived up to its name. Unfortunately the 2 rugged campsites were closed due to clearing fallen trees and apparently everyone and their buddy wanted to camp there that day also. Drove into the area late evening looking for a camp spot and ended up setting up camp in the dark. The wife was real thrilled with me as she sat in the truck and watched me setup the tent. We had deer grazing by our tent all night long (wife thinks it was a bear everytime:) After a fairly sleepless night we awoke to realize we almost camped in an awesome meadow. We took an early morning hike passing numerous deer grazing within 100yrds.
Didn't get a chance to fish the lake too much. Beautiful, very large lake, has a stream out the tail end, supposedly some good stream fishing. Most of the pictures are of the stream.
*lots of campers/rvs rush to the lakes edge camping spots, defiantly not a quiet get-away unless you get away from the lake. not likely that i would ever go to this lake again unless someone tells me that there is gold there. ha
