Angora Lake ....... a secret destination.

ANGORA LAKE




It's a quiet secluded area with no signs to get there.
A lake like no others.
No motor boats, not very many visitors.
Must hike 20 minutes up the hill
There is a small no-name lake along the way... just as tranquil.... and no less pretty.

Click on directions to get there. Once you get up there you will find mini cabins which are most likely booked a year in advance. Don't forget a swim suit, a towel, a mat for the beach. Oh.. and a picnic basket too. You wouldn't have to carry your food basket along the 2 miles hike to have a picnic, since there are nice picnic spots near where the parking area is. Parking fee of $7/car per day applies. Bring exact amount. There is an envelope you can pick up at the parking site where you can put the money in, seal it and deposit in the pay box.

Owners of the cabins at Angora Lake have a paddle board for rent for $16/hr. I didn't see anybody on one, but I did see a tiny one-person sailing canoe in the middle of the lake ..... sailing quietly .... and the only moving thing on the still tranquil lake.......
