Excellent spot for sunset. Lots of opportunities within a radius of 100 meters.

Photography Tips

You can use any lens - wide angle to telephoto to capture the beauty. You may want to use an ND filter to smoothen the water.

Travel Information

There is space to park 20-30 cars. Can get really crowded after Jul 4. However, the final stretch of 1.5 miles from the byway entrance to the lake's parking area presented us with a formidable challenge. The unpaved road, riddled with immense potholes and uneven gravel, made the driving experience exceptionally demanding and it took us over 10 minutes to cover the distance.
