Davis Lake
This small rustic campground provides beautiful views of Davis Lake from each campsite. There is a single lane dirt road which serves as access to the campsites and the small boat launch. Boating is noncombustible motors only and the cutthroat trout fishing is fantastic. In addition there is a 1.2 mile hiking trail # 92 will take you around Davis lake.

Each unit is published as a centre point and an acreage rather than a boundary, so this section stands it in for a circle of the same area. Whether a campground is inside, and how far it is from one it is outside, are both approximate.
