About

It's a simple put-in with vault toilets as the only facility, and a fee is charged for use. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 71°F with lows near 40°F, and September highs around 78°F. July and August run warmer and wetter, with highs near 82°F and more frequent rain. The Wood hike starts just 0.2 miles away, and the Lakeview Connector trail and Lakeview campground are both about 0.4 miles off.
