Mackill Lake

Mackill Lake is located southwest of Palmer Lake, and is managed as a backcountry recreation and fishing destination, with access restricted to walk-in or horseback traffic only. In order to protect the backcountry recreation experience, no motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail, or within 400 meters of the lakeshore. The lake has been stocked with rainbow trout, and the water in the lake is exceptionally clear. Rustic facilities are available at two locations on the lakeshore for those wanting to tent or just to enjoy for the day. A hiking trail can also be followed around the entire lake.
