About this site

Source

Gun Creek meets Carpenter Lake here, and the rec site sits at the confluence near Gold Bridge. Swimming off the lake shore is the easy draw, and the riding is close.

There are 16 sites, first come, first served, on gravel. This valley has been under evacuation alert for wildfire before, so check current alerts before you drive in.

Gold Bridge is about 6.6 km away with an Esso about the same distance, which keeps supply runs short. Tyaughton Lake is roughly 5.3 km off, and the Tyax Adventures network, 52 trails, starts about 6.8 km from camp.
