This place was unbelievable! Dramatic rock cliffs drop off into a pristine, emerald lake. The water was so clear, I could see almost 30 feet down. No one was around and even though it was only about 1/2 mile off the small highway, you couldn't hear a thing. I felt like I was the last person on earth! Pretty much anywhere you pull off and hike through the woods a short way, you're guaranteed an amazing adventure!
