Beautiful landscape! Very fun drive up into the gorge in a single track road with passing places. Lots of free parking near the top. The final footpath to the lake is quite rough (no good for a pram😋) but great if wearing walking boots. Well worth a visit. The access road adds adventure to the journey, though proper footwear is essential for the rugged terrain leading to the lake.
