Scout's Notes
Ramp Quirks & Etiquette
Concrete at the End of the Dirt
One free concrete lane with seven trailer spots at the end of dirt Forest Road 79-2. Daytime hours, no facilities. Bring clearance and check conditions after rain — the approach is the hard part, not the ramp.
The Lee-Shore Lake
Halfmoon's crescent gives every wind a protected arc — the small-craft answer on days the big forest lakes blow out.
Filtered Company
The dirt approach keeps this lake's mornings near-private; seven spots have rarely mattered.
