Gold Cord Lake

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Good hike up to the lake that also overlooks independence mine. Starts with a slow easy climb in elevation before a shirt section that is a little more difficult. We did the hike with two 4 year olds walking. There were some questionable sections but taking it slow is okay. Recommend some good shoes...

Government Peak Recreation Area

Park

😐 Love the mountain bike trails, the ski trail grooming maintenance is great. The only problem is not so much that they allow dogs, rather the lazy, inconsiderate dog owners who do not clean up after their dogs. I know it's impossible to police, so maybe more signs and poop stations placed al...

With man-made swimming hole just a mile up river on the river road. And the endless atv and 4x4 trails that literally start right under this old bridge. A...
