This year, contractors will be working on the Switzers Picnic Area and Buckhorn Campground Recreation Site Improvement projects. These Recreation Sites will be closed to public access for an unspecified time period to allow the Contractor to complete the improvements in the shortest time period.
Charlton Flat Picnic Area will be open this summer, after the Contractor has completed some contractual work.

That is great news. The lake looks great and has recovered from the partial draining last fall. As a resullt of the clean up, there is much more room on the shore for fishing and recreational activities. Thanks to Bob Blount and the ANF for making this clean up a priority. It will be appreciated by many!

The April 2010 Issue of the USFS Big Pines Volunteer Newsletter had an article on the History of Jackson lake. The article concluded with the words:
"As Jackson Lake continues to fill this spring it will return to its pristine glory of yesteryear; being used for swimming, fishing and canoeing."
Here is a triva question that the article mentioned...
In 1924 the lake was known as "Lake Big Pines". Some old timers would refer to it as "The Manzanita Mud Bath". In 1926 it became Jackson Lake. Who was the lake named after?
