Sitting at the base of the Tam McArthur Rim, Three Creeks Lake is a 28-acre alpine gem surrounded by spectacular old growth forest. Its crystal-clear waters are kept well stocked with brook trout and rainbow trout, and visitors can fish either from the shore or from a boat, although only non-motorized boats are permitted. Brave swimmers can also take a dip in the refreshingly chilly water, and there are several hiking trails in the forest around the lake. If you want to spend the night, there's a first come first served campground on the edge of the water.
