    Spectacular rocks along 50 miles of Great Basin desert reservoir. Limited access. Boat recommended. Fish. Swim. Hike. Photos. Bird watching. Rocks and more. Camping, both in improved campgrounds and way off the map.

    We rented one of their rustic cabins for the trip we took in April. The cabin isn't fancy but it is well maintained and had heat. The only downfall to these cabins is that they are the farthest from the outdoor toilets of all the camp spots. The lake was the lowest I had ever seen it from our drought seasons. The area as a whole is clean and well maintained and quiet. The wild flowers were in bloom and I did manage to get several nice images of the area.

    The water is so WARM! This is my favorite place to go boating due to the warm water. It's a very large lake so it never feels crowded.
