Cow Lakes, DN13ic03
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cow Lakes is a nice BLM campground with a little elevation that is an easy 20-minute drive from DN12 to the south, and not far from the DN02-03-02-13 grid corner. This is a beautiful oasis in the desert but, as with most lakes, it's not a really high point. There are lots of birds and wildlife and fish and a rough boat ramp at this good-sized lake. The Lower Cow Lake was dry when we visited in Sept 2015. Restrictions: No water. Iron Mtn Rd, DN13aa00
