its less than an hour for me to go there, i would luike some info too.....ive been checking it out online also

No high speed passes, but maybe good for a relaxing float??

im not far from it either. let me know when you go, maybe meet up or somethin. i also heard about the 35 limit.

its nice there there isnt alot of rangers but they do patrol ive never had any problems except u need to get there early or u may not get on the water an there is usually a line to get in so i get there around 4ish 5ish to insure u get on the water but very nice place to blast around an hangout ooo an gets a little windy in the late afternoon

The place is a good sized lake . I've opened it up a few times out there and wasn't hassled . Of course if it's busy they are going to watching a little closer . Between silverwood and puddingstone , I spent all of my childhood there . I think 35 is the speed limit on every lake . I'm not sure .

Squiggies right on about the time though . I've gotten there drunk at 3 am and there was at least ten boats in front of me . You can also call and make a reservation so you can roll up when ever you like . It's kind of hard to find a beach though but there are some nice spots . One of my favorite lakes , I just dont like the drive on the 138.

I was also thinking about trying to get up there, Live in Lake Forest and pass the turnoff from here in about about an 1 hour 15 min. How far off the 15 and how bad of a drive towing a boat?

How far you from Hwy 138 ? From there it probably another 15 min . The kicker is there is an enourmous amount of very windy road you have to go through . The lake is definatly nice and worth the trip at least once . Huge ramp and since it's in the mountains I dont think they hassle about the muffs. I've never seen it anyways.

Right on I will look into the reservation thing- Me and early mornings don't get along

yea i'd say its at least 30 mins from the 15 fwy cause of all the twists an turns but it is worth the ride an they DON'T mess with u on ur exaust

Bet she runs like a bat outa hell down hill though

Between silverwood and puddingstone

I had forgotten about Puddingstone until my wife asked the other day; what's the story there?

Yeah, well, well, well, I gotta a Ford V6 in a full size truck with 35's!   

. I have a v6 stock f150 5 speed and I am worried about towing. how does your truck tow? Do you have lower gears?

yea puddingstone is nasty it is like elsinore as beerjet said but silverwood has half way decent water u can swim in at least
