Long Lake
Long lake has well shaded level campsites that can accommodate anything from tents to larger RVs and trailers. The entrance road is a bit narrow and rough along the eastern shoreline of Fish Lake, so larger RV's should use caution. Amenities include an old fashion hand pump well that provides the campground with potable water, flat parking spurs, tables, fire grills, and two outhouses. Long Lake is a beautiful, clear, fly fishing only lake that is stocked with cutthroat trout. Internal combustion engines are prohibited. Beautiful views of the 12.8 acre lake can be seen from the 1.5 mile trail that traverses along the waters edge.
