Boulder Gulch
With a name like that, there has to be some fun bouldering around! Indeed, there are several good boulders conveniently located in and around the campround.

Look for other popular boulders just beyond the campsites on the lake side. The rocks extend toward the lake and on the rolling hills.
There are a few problems and a good 5.10 finger crack up the hill on the west side of the road.
