Council Bluff Lake

The 440-acre Council Bluff Lake is a tiny lake located in the eastern region of the 1.5 million-acre Mark Twain National Forest. The trees around the lake provide a picturesque setting for boating and paddling as well as shady paths for biking, hiking, and strolling.

Council Bluff Lake is a well-liked weekend and vacation destination because of the deep forests that provide shade along its banks, the 13-mile-long network of hiking and bike routes, and the abundance of fish in the crystal-clear alpine waters. Kids can swim at Chapel Hill Beach from May through September. It has beautiful sand. There are many campgrounds, so you may bring your RV or rough it in your tent.

Fishing is a well-liked hobby due to the crystal-clear alpine waterways. Fish species to catch here include large mouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill, red-ear sunfish, and crappie.
