Bay Creek Lake

Bay Creek Lake is located in Pope County and lies south of Jackson Falls Area. Access is by gravel and dirt roads, but the road does become impassable and therefore portaging a canoe or kayak is necessary to reach this lake. The clear clean waters of Bay Creek Spring that feeds the Lake make it worth the trip.
