Bordertown Recreation Lake — Attraction in Bordertown

Great place for a quick stop in or up to 3 nights if need be, at only $10 a night via an honesty paystation as you drive in. It's an absolute bargain.

Road truck noise is bareable at night but the long - long freight trains are very loud at night- we had 7 go through the night we stayed up until 6am. If you can deal with all this it's a great spot with a short stroll into town, at least...
