There are three popular recreation sites within the Pine Forest Recreation Area: the Blue Lakes, Onion Reservoir and Knott Creek Reservoir. All three have superb scenery. The Blue Lakes are glacial in origin. Excellent opportunities for fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, primitive camping, mountain biking, and photography exist at every turn.
