Really nice lake for kayaking. We didn't have a lakeside site and had to carrying our kayak further than anticipated so be prepared for that if you can't snag a lakeside site. Toilets were pretty bad, some nearly full. Campground was quiet and lots of trees. Not much in the way of road biking since it's a small loop and the main road is curvy with no shoulder, so we didn't use the bikes. There is a trail going around the lake and one trail at the hatchery rated as "easy" but those were the only two trail options we found nearby with an "easy" rating. Pretty drive around the lake with some scenic overlooks. Leadville is a bit of a rundown town and most everything closed by 7 pm so don't rely too heavily on it for supplies. The lake is super nice though and the smell of pine in the morning is refreshing!

Nice campground, clean facilities, nice host, and great beach. This camp site had about three spots big enough for four person tents. We made an 8-person tent work, but it was tight.
