April 2000 Lea Lake Scenic Overlook (seen from Mile Marker 6) The largest of the Bottomless Lakes, at 90' deep, is the only lake in which swimming is allowed. During the summer months, the park operates a concession stand where petal cruisers and paddleboards are available for a nominal fee. A bath house with hot showers and flush toilets is near the concession area. The lake is spring fed with almost 2 1/2 million gallons of water flowing through it daily. Due to the clarity of the water in Lea Lake, scuba diving has become very popular. Roomy campsites are available, both at Lea Lake Recreation Area and along the lower lakes. The lower lakes offer developed camping with centralized fresh water and chemical toilets. Lea Lake offers full hookups with modern restrooms and hot showers. There is a large day use and picnic area adjacent to the lake. The swimming beach is well maintained and lifeguards are on duty during the summer. The Park also offers hiking trails. Entrance and camping fees are charged throughout the year. |
