About this place
This campground has six campsites along the stream 1/2 mile below the outlet of Toad Lake. A popular lake with fair fishing for mostly small Brook Trout, and some Rainbow Trout as well. Shores vary from timber to rocks and meadows. The fly fishing can be excellent. Many sensitive and rare plants are found in this location, and it is an excellent nature walk area. Boats are not allowed.

About 0.5 miles up this road, turn left on road 40N64 and continue until reaching the Toad Lake cabin site.
