Spaulding Lake

Spaulding Lake

Description
Lake Spaulding rests in a glacier carved bowl of granite. The lake is surrounded by giant rocks and a thick pine forest. The lake was originally built for hydraulic mining in 1912, but today campers and boaters enjoy this beautiful lake. All types of boating is allowed on the lake, and fishing from the boat and the shore can be very rewarding. This is a fine lake for a family outing with a spectacular setting of granite boulders reaching into the clear blue waters. For camping there are 25 Developed Sites for Tents & RVs.
