A long, skinny lake, Cedar Cliff is a part of the East Fork Lakes and is open to the public. It’s known for its fishing and swimming, but you can also have a nice paddle around the lake on a canoe or kayak. Cabins with lake access are often available for rent, and these will give you access to beautiful sunrise and sunset views from their docks (and may come with kayaks and canoes you can use). This is an awesome place to stay when you explore the area.
