Fishing for cutthroat and brook trout in Sparks Lake; fly fishing only, with barbless hooks. Water levels may get quite low late in the summer and make access by boat difficult. Sparks Lake was created when lava flows blocked the creek. Interesting formations surround the lake, and the water makes strange noises as it drains out through the lava. A short hiking trail crosses the lava and connects the two sections of the lake. A day use area with a boat ramp is at the south end of the lake. SPECIAL ACTIVITIES: fishing, trails, wildlife viewing MAXIMUM SPUR LENGTH: 30 feet No motorboats are permitted on Sparks Lake.
