Accessibility Payson Lakes has handicapped accessible restrooms, picnic tables and campsites. There is a paved trail around the lake with 30' fishing pier. There is a USFS campground with some flush toilets and about 90 campsites. There are no boat launch facilities, but some anglers launch canoes and other small watercraft in Big East Lake. This group of lakes is just under 8,000 so you should be able to fish well into October.
Late fall is often the best time to be here.
The beautiful fall colors are expressed on both the hills around the lakes and the sides of the brook trout preparing for their spawning season. .
