Beautiful Rolly Lake
Beautiful Rolly Lake
Beautiful Rolly Lake is just East of where we live in a beautiful Mountain home maybe a 5 or 10 minute drive.
This time of year the main gates are closed as there is no staff on site and there are campgrounds available. Camping doesn't start till the beginning of April.
Our walk through the main path was just beautiful and of course we had fun running and enjoy the beauty of nature.

There is even places to hide and play with the campground area there is also a play ground and a lot of stuff to do and pets are allowed on leash.
It is a wonderful place to spend the day or even a few hours.
