Just north of here is a small reservoir along the River to River Trail. If you're thru-hiking it can be a nice place to camp, although there are no designated campsites or amenities — you're on your own for choosing an appropriate backcountry camping area. Beware of unstable rocks and ground near the dam's outflow.

If you want to get closer to the lake, hike west until you strike the old, rough road that will take you right to its shores.
