Glory Hole Recreation Area

Summer is usually pretty hot but just enough trees for shade and the water is incredibly comfortable. Plenty of fishing going on here even though I go here with my boys to swim in the summertime and bike ride in the summertime spring and fall. I hear the fishing is pretty good. Campgrounds are nice and clean and so are the restroom and shower facilities. Always a different boat launch opening or closing due to water levels rising or falling. Mostly falling due to the drought but snow melt run off has started to get it to come back up again. Lots of wildlife. Okay enough about the people. Lol. Actually a much more quiet crowd than some other lakes that are known for their off the hook partying. This isn't one of them it's much more toned down and respectable. We Have seen plenty of deer raccoons foxes coyotes gopher snakes king snakes garter snakes racer snakes and rattlesnakes of course. Leave the rattlesnakes alone and they'll usually leave you alone and look for a way out to stay away from you. If you come in September and October in the late afternoon and evenings you might get lucky enough to see male tarantulas looking for females. Unless provoked the males are very docile and they'll usually just walk right over your hand as if you're not even there. They've got other things on their minds .It's cool to see bald eagles and ospreys in the skies as well

Nice area took the dogs for a nice hike. Not too busy this time of the year. Plenty of parking.

This is probably a wonderful place, when we've had rain. The water levels are low, so the mud smells. Not much shade ,cause water is so far down. I sure if it ever rains again it will be nice. We will definitely go back, but not until we get some water
