With 10 primitive campsites lining this 67 acre lake, Lyman Lake can be quite busy! No drinking water is available, but primitive toilets can be found at several of the campsites. Lyman Lake supports good numbers of bluegills, pumpkinseeds, rock bass, largemouth bass and northern pike. There is a back-in boat access, with parking, located between sites #6 and #7. Good swimming areas can be found at sites #2, #3, and #5. Sites #4 and #6 have fair swimming areas, while swimming is considered to be poor at sites #1, #7, #8, #9 and #10.
