By sticking to these areas and camping at least 200 feet from lakes, rivers and streams, you’re helping natural areas stay natural.

The Forest Service is working with experts on mitigation efforts to protect the area. Fire-related erosion and runoff getting into the fragile lake ecosystem is a major concern. The Forest Service won’t know for a while what long-term impacts will be because the health of Hanging Lake is directly tied to hydrology of the area. Hikers holding permits to use the trail will receive detailed information regarding emergency procedures. The White River National Forest has worked with a number of stakeholders including the Colorado Department of Transportation on short and long-term mitigation measures. Public safety continues to be the priority, and there is a long-term risk of post-fire flooding and debris flow. Some areas of the trail were also burned, as was a large portion of Glenwood Canyon. While Hanging Lake itself was not burned in the Grizzly Creek Fire, the fire burned much of the area above the lake and trail.
Always wear sturdy footwear, not flip flops.Use facilities at the trailhead before hiking. Walking off the trail and short cutting switchbacks is not permitted.Hanging Lake trail climbs up a steep canyon to reach the lake.All the kids and dogs had a fun time, the adults enjoyed themselves and their experience there made them into newfound campers. We are seasoned campers (both car camping and back country) and we brought our friends along who had never been camping at all. Despite the cons listed we all had a wonderful time. Some of the equipment on the playground set was broken but the day before they left the owners came and fixed it. Although the grounds are in a remote location they are close to a neighborhood so sometimes you'll hear cars and early mornings the neighboring farm's hunting dogs get to baying.

Other campers did not respect privacy (walking through our campsites to access the river we were at a river's edge primitive site), owner did not know how to get to Amicalola Falls (it was less than 30 minutes from them), bath house was too far from the campsite so be prepared to walk or drive if you get a primitve site. Cons: Owners only accept check and cash as payment and there is no way to reserve your site online, so that was a little nerve wracking, but they had our spot waiting when we arrived. Entrance has a gate for added security and privacy. Owners remembered us despite limited communication leading up to our arrival and held our spot even though we showed up several hours later than we'd anticipated.
