No luck with lures. There was a group catching them left and right with worms right next to us. The staff was awesome.

Spent a few hours walkng around the lake and decompressing. Beautiful place to sit and watch the wild life. There was a bald eagle (?) Molting...sitting on the ice on the lake. Such a beautiful place just 10 minutes from Woodland Park, CO

$7 entrance fee Small lake with trail that goes around and another trail that's goes down the creek a bit. Scenic, clean, and nice views of Pikes Peak. Bathroom facilities on site. Signs that say no swimming allowed, and "dog nuisances must be removed", which I found funny.
