About Plateau Lake
This recreation site is a good location for fishermen, campers and hunters who want to be off the beaten path a bit. A good boat launch but the road to the site is very rough so is not recommended for any camping or boat unit being towed. Sites are big though and plenty of room but is treeless due to the removal of mountain pine beetle infested trees. The clear lake with its marl shoals and weed beds is a fly fishers dream.
