This is a beautiful camp ground and lake. It is well maintained and has many nice private sites to camp. There is a wonderful trail around the lake and into stunning woods. We will camp here again.

Takhlakh lake is stunning. We had a site on the lake with lots of room. We had blue sky, sunshine and cool air. The hike around the lake and to the meadow was fabulous! Gorgeous scenery, plant life (my passion) and trail in excellent condition. Campground host was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this site.
