Scoop up some trout for that whole roasted trout recipe you’ve been dog-earing and salivating over at the plentiful waters of Lower Bowns Reservoir and Lower Pleasant Creek in Upper Pleasant Creek Campground. This much-loved camping spot in the belly of Fishlake National Forest offers primitive camping for tent campers and small RVs. Don’t miss the drive down the nearby National Scenic Byway 12, where you’ll have something else to salivate over—the remnants of ancient sea beds and one of the most impressive high-elevation plateaus in the country.
