Bolan Lake Campground is temporarily closed. Check USFS bolan-lake-campground website for more information. The lake was stocked with 800 legal-size rainbow trout on May 21. The bite will be good when the campground opens back up. Spinners have been very productive based on recent reports. There is good bank access and a small unimproved boat ramp available.
