  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Alexander Lake, 13 miles out.
