Yellow Cliffs Day Use and Motorized Boat Launch
Yellow Cliffs is above the shoreline along an elevated hilltop which provides gorgeous views of unique yellow-hued boulders surrounding Bartlett Lake. Designated fire rings are spread out to give you more privacy from your neighbors. Here you can lounge and meditate to the soft sounds of the lake water lapping at the shoreline and the hum of boats coasting up and down the lake in the distance. Review At-A-Glance below for more details about this site.
