40.1702, -107.0543
Kayakers, canoeists, and anglers who want a no-cost alpine lake without motorboat traffic. The grayling and trout fishery is the real draw, and dispersed camping means you can set up right at the shoreline if you get there early enough in summer.
No potable water, no fire grates, no picnic tables, and a rough road that demands high-clearance. Car campers expecting any developed facility will be frustrated before they even unpack.
