About Pelican Lake South
This is a large two section site with only lower lake level sites being used at this time. All pine beetle trees have been removed opening up this site and there is plenty of firewood available for campers.
For those that like to explore by canoe this would be a great spot. Pelican Lake is large, and quiet with some White Pelicans available for viewing from a distance.
