,Days 6-11 Vista Lake Great Site-Ranger Visit Our patience paid off and the good site at the end of Vista opened up. We were startled awake the first morning when we heard rangers asking if it was ok to enter the campsite. They said they were cleaning firepits but we’re pretty sure they were checking permits due to the large number of campers this summer. (COVID) We had luck catching walleye on this lake! We lingered at this site for 5 nights. We rarely saw any travelers-maybe 3 canoes.
