About
This is a site on a small fishing lake with access from Coldstream Creek. Rough access, rough cartop boat launch. Not a lot of turn around room, and access is pretty rough so trailers NOT recommended.
Road access. User-maintained site with no regular servicing. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, picnic tables, fire rings. First come, first served.
Getting there: Follow Hwy 6 to Lavington, turn north onto to Noble Canyon Road and drive 250. Cross the cattle guard onto Coldstream Creek Forest Service Road, and after driving 2.6 km take the right fork onto Bardolph Forest Service Road. Go another 4.6km and take the right fork onto Spider Creek Forest Service Road. After 150m, turn right directly under the powerline. Leave the power line after 350m to left and enter the Rec Site. The last 300 meters is very rough.
