Enough Boat Launch and Trailhead

Area Status: Open

Enough Boat Launch is a single-lane gravel launch. Over by the Enough boat launch there is an abundance of lily pads. Because this lake was built due to dam construction there are trees in the lake by this boat launch and around the perimeter of the lake. Once you are in the middle of the lake and by the beach there are few submerged trees from the flooding to create the lake.

There are two entrances to the Council Bluff Trail at the boat launch. You walk through the boat launch if you are hiking on the trail. One entrance is on the right-hand side, facing away from the water, where you launch boats. The other trailhead is right next to the parking area. Both entrances have carsonite signs to mark them. There are picnic tables centrally located near the picnic area.
