About
It is near the Grand Mesa National Forest and the Gunnison National Forest that you can find the "Unks", a forested area with deep blue lakes and green forests. It is stocked annually by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife. According to the average fish size, it is 6 to 8 inches. The fish don't have much chance of reaching larger size because the dam is emptied every fall. The fisherman may have a better chance if he is in a boat. Many camping spots are scattered on the east side of the lake.
