About Elkhart Lake
This small recreation site was logged in the winter of 2009/2010 to remove pine beetle infected trees. As a result, the once heavily forested site is now very open.
The camping area is situated above the lake, and there is a short walking trail down the slope that provides access to the lake where you can drop your boat in.
The recreation site is a popular location for fishermen, hunters and campers.
