While our stay was short we had a great time. The guys went fishing and the ladies went hiking. Some of our friends have a cabin in Sumpter so we visited them one afternoon. In the evening our brother-in-law's cousin was there too and we visited with them twice. The cousin is a musician and he sang and played the guitar with anyone welcome to come and listen, visit etc.
I LOVED the hiking and seeing the wildlife. The guys caught some fish. Such a beautiful area!

Union Creek is a regular stop over for me on a mostly work-related road trip I take between Utah and Washington. I love the bike trail around the lake and seeing the wildlife. The camp ground is always in great shape, the restrooms are clean, and the fellow campers and hosts are nice. It's a beautiful location.
