About
Overview

Canoeing and fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout are popular activities on the small but scenic man-made reservoir. A short, easy trail traverses around Yearns Reservoir with fishing access points on the north, west, and south sides of the lake. The trail includes a wooden bridge, two stream crossings, a set of wooden stairs, and both shaded and exposed areas. Hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding are also favorite activities in the area.

The campground contains one group site that can accommodate up to 30 people and six vehicles. Single-family sites are available as well. Multiple vault toilets are provided, along with access footpaths leading down to Yearns Reservoir. Roads and parking spurs are gravel.
Natural Features
A mixed forest of spruce, pinyon, juniper, fir and aspen covers the area, offering partial shade. Wildlife and summer wildflowers are abundant. Situated on a hill above Yearns Reservoir with multiple access trails.
