Big Lake = Big Fish at McQuade Harbor Rest Area

mile 10.0

McQuade Harbor Rest Area is a spanky little safe harbor. You’ll find a boat launch, kayak ramp, restrooms, interpretive panels, shelter, and paved walkway with a tunnel to the east breakwall. It includes three fishing platforms. Nice spot for a picnic, shore casting, or a little leg-stretcher.
