Do not, under any circumstances, throw anything other than toilet paper into the pit. Please use the garbage can in the cabin for tissues, paper towel, feminine supplies, kitchen leftovers, etc.

There is a sink with running water attached to the left side of the outhouse for the convenience of the patrons.

CAMP FIRES 

– Should you wish to have a campfire, there is a fire pit on the beach.  There is plenty of firewood stacked up the hill behind the cabin.  Keep fires under 1m or 36" in height.  Please ensure that the fire is completely doused with water before leaving it.  There are plastic buckets available to get water from the lake for this purpose.

If there is a FIRE BAN, please respect it, as individuals may be charged by the Forest Service for non-compliance.  Notices are posted at the Texas Point boat launch.
