pay to drive to it, it is worth it. The drive and the lake. We walked over to lake from parking area and while standing on the shore of calm lake they young mule deer walked within three feet of me. It was just so peaceful a quiet. worth the stop
This is a small lake with huge scenery. Great photo opps. This is great for anyone to relax, hike, and photograph... There is a store and gift shop. this is well worth the stop before driving through the park
The resort, restaurant, and activities are all pretty good. You can fish, hike, canoe, eat, and relax all in one day.
Took a wonderful walk around the lake...just beautiful! Experienced once more one of my favorite memories from our Honeymoon 43 years ago. <3
Picture perfect. It is a man made lake with a swimming area that is not guarded. The small beach is sandy and the depth is shallow and slowly gets deeper. We were there in August and the water was cool but provided a much needed cool down on a hot day. There is a gift shop there as well as a store to buy food. Plenty of picture taking oportunites.
Love the Sylvan lake area...great for hiking and always fun to photograph. Definitely worth the stop!
This place is amazing. The views are great. It is nice for taking a walk with family or with friends. I have gone there several times over the years and it has been a great experience every time. All ages can enjoy, from young children to adults. There are places to hike, walk, take pictures and more.
Don't miss Sylvan Lake! Lots to do including hiking, swimming, and kayaking! If you don't want to do a lot of hiking the walk around the lake is beautiful! If you want to do a bit more hike Sunday Gulch Trail, it is a 3 mile long trail that goes over rocks and waterfalls! It is definitely a must stop place on your trip!
We have been here many times and never get sick of it. There is so much to do that you can make a day of it.
This lake was featured in the movie National Treasure 2 Book of Secrets. This lake is near perfect. You have breathtaking scenery, swimming, paddle boating, fishing, camping (across the road), and a fantastic picnic and beach area. Several hiking trails start or end there. The Sunday Gulch trail goes around the lake and features beautiful waterfalls.
