Pillar Lake

This is a small day use only site with a treed lakeshore; good fishing opportunities, easy access, and a large stone pillar within easy walking distance. Pillar Lake is named after a natural pillar that is about 90 feet tall (28 metres).On the top of the pillar balances a boulder that has been estimated to be about 8 tons. Camping overnight is not permitted at Pillar Lake Recreation Site. The boat launch has sustained damage due to vehicle access. Please only hand launch boats until improvements can be made and do not back trailers into high water area.
