Trail Overview
The road into Ideal Lake off of Philpot/Aberdeen is very rough, with tons of deep potholes - huge potholes. It's a slow drive-in. We were there in the Fall of 2022 during one of the driest 4 months on record and the water levels of Ideal Lake which is a reservoir was so low. There are a few camp spots here and there was an RV there too. You could fish here as well. There are trails at the rec site for kids to play on or to go for a nice hike/walk. There is no cell coverage at this location.
