About this site

Source

Sun, room for big rigs, and a lake 0.2 km away. Tahla Lake takes large trailers, motorhomes and fifth wheels, riders bring dirt bikes and ATVs, and anglers work the lake.

Five sites at $15 a night, first come, first served, on gravel, and it is a cash only site, so bring bills. There is no launch, so a kayak, canoe or belly boat is the way onto the water.

Aspen Grove is about 10 km away with fuel further on at a Super Save about 26 km, so buy gas at the start of the drive. The Harmon Lake interpretive trails are about 11 km out, the Brookmere parking lot about 11 km, and the Coldwater River about 12 km.
