Scott Lake was a little ways down NF 4200-260. It was medium size with a campground along it's south shore. There was a primitive boat launch, only non-motorized boats are permitted.
There was lots of pretty yellow-orange grass along the shore and the water level appeared a bit low. It was quite pretty. The photos I took were from the boat launch.
