Fish the the 2nd Hydro campsite at the creek mouth or on the log boom around the dam spillway, also anywhere along the dam's rip rap.
Road up there is a rough and steep in places so beware, you won't see too many car's up there.
Good luck!

Actualy a van with a family lost control this summer coming down one of the steeper parts, failing to make a corner and down a embankment.
A van will make it but like I said it would be very rough and steep in places the road is not maintained so the risk is yours.

Think I'd have any problem in a rear-wheel-drive 1/2 ton pickup?
