The View from Lake Democrat it’s absolutely stunning. it’s a nice quiet little area with good fishing spots, if your into that.. my son caught this crab with a string and a stick, and I. caught my very first fish, and was overly excited. it’s not too bad of a drive to get here it’s a little windy but very beautiful. I highly suggest bringing your family up here to spend an afternoon or even renting a camp site! if you like to fish I’ll be outdoors this is definitely one of the most amazingly beautiful places that doesn’t cost a thing. but remember it is the current river and it’s a killer so beware jackets if you plan on being in the water
