Anybody ever camp at the wilderness sites at Round Valley? You have boat across the lake or hike 3 miles to the nearest site. I was thinking of taking my nephew for his birthday. Can you swim on that side? __________________ I got a shotgun

Swimming is not allowed in the reservoir... Be carful, park police do walk the sites...

Don't know what the place is like now. __________________ DU, USSA

Don't know what the place is like now. We usually hike the short loop trail that follows part of the western shoreline. It's easily one of the most beautiful parts of the state and a nice long, but not too difficult hike. I take my lab there and he loves it-I let him off of the leash even though its not allowed so he can swim. He's from field lines and there is no happier time for him than when he's in the woods or the water. It just sucks that I have to "break the rules" in order to have fun with him. I'm not surprised that it's the same story on the eastern side of the lake. God forbid someone hikes 4 miles to a campsite with a pack full of gear and then decides to cool off. ![]() __________________ I got a shotgun
