Fish Lake

[Rixster]

Anyone rode Fish lake lately? Talking about going down there and wondered how it is. Where did you unload?

4 years later I now have the same question, so I figured I would bump this one that I found in teh search.

Best access from the north is off Gooseberry Rd. which is a few miles east of Salina on I-70. Take that road south till you hit snow, parking area is about 5-6 miles off I-70. The riding area is big and has some cool terrain, biggest problem is the mtn is covered in Lava rock the size of minivans so unless you have over 6 feet of snow it is pretty sketchy in most places. The mtn gets over 6 feet almost every year, last year they had 7-8 feet mid season. I went last year around Christmas time and it was still sketchy. Look at the Farnsworth lake snotel to get a good idea of the conditions. Access from fish lake itself is fine just a longer drive is all. Snow is usually best on the north end of Fishlake complex. You can also access from Hwy24 outside of Richfeild, this is where that guy was buried last year, kind of a long haul in from that side though. If you go don't forget to
