Cabresto Lake Access provides a primitive trailhead parking area at 9,500 feet elevation in Carson National Forest, accessed via a challenging 2-mile primitive road (FS 134A) requiring high-clearance or 4WD vehicles.

The site offers four semi-dispersed campsites on a level ridge overlooking the 15-acre lake, with vault toilets available but no potable water; non-motorized boats are permitted but require carrying down a steep slope to the shore.

The Lake Fork Trail departs from the parking area into the Latir Peak Wilderness, and the campground operates seasonally from May through November, weather dependent.
