"Western Lake", also called Radar Hill pond, has a year-round open fishing season. Elevation is about 1050 feet and is stocked with 9 to 10 inch rainbow trout, and some cutthroat trout are also available. Isolated reports of some Eastern brook trout have been made in past years.
Today, the area around Radar Ridge, maintained by the Department of Natural Resources and youth camp work crews, has become a recreational spot for many local residents who enjoy the trip to the Ridge for the view, but increasingly come into the area to camp as well.
On the way up to the ridge, travelers can now enjoy Western Lake and Snag Lake, both developed over the years by the DNR crews and stocked with fish. Primitive campsites are available and open to the public. The trails and bridges that go around the lakes and into the woods make perfect daytime trips for hikers. The trip to Radar Ridge summit is about seven miles – straight up. The lake campsites are about halfway up. The gravel road leading to the summit, bumpy and steep at times with many turns, should be driven slowly – but the view, once there, is truly something to behold.
