About Gypsum Lake West
This recreation site is a popular, sunny location for fishermen, hunters and campers. The camping spots are not that large but they can accomodate smaller trailers, truck campers and tents. A rough boat launch is located at the site. This is also the trail head for the Gypsum Mountain Hiking Trail (non motorized), a 2 km (one way) trail to the top of Gypsum Mountain with a nice view north to Logan Lake.
