An $8 per vehicle daily fee (cash or check only) grants access to this universally accessible area, which serves as a trailhead for the 1. 2-mile Mesa Lake Shoreline loop and connections to Lost Lake Trail and other backcountry routes.

The site offers convenient access to multiple fishing and paddling opportunities across the Mesa Lakes system's eight reservoirs.
