There are restrooms at the boat launch and at Shores Lake. Some beautiful scenic views of Shores Lake can be found right before you descend into the lake. The campground might be closed during the winter and spring months due to flooding as the lake gets pretty high. Cell phone service is attainable along this road in some locations.
