good to know.

the path from Crosby leads over two bridges to get to this place. vehicles exceeding 5 t are not allowed to pass. in case you still wanna get to this place you would have to drive a detour about 45min to get there.

Great spot, I learned by talking to the Locks Staff that you can pay to camp on their property in a Tent if you are cycling or paddling.
But they do not permit car camping.

They tolerate discreet camper vans for a night.
I would definitively spend the day here again but would move my Camper across the bridge up the hill ( 200ft) from the lock to be more private and discreet.

Quiet spot for a night! Large parking on grassy area just before/after boat lock. Access to fire pits and some picnic tables. A couple of other campers stayed and a tent was pitched. Beautiful views of the lake!
