| Bartlett Lake has one main but challenging jeep trail known as the FR 42 that consists of sandy washes, steep hills and rocky sections. Summer temperatures can get very hot (100+ degrees) so bring extra shade plus water and keep an eye out for desert wildlife such as lizards and rattlesnakes. Most of the southern part and all of the eastern part of Bartlett Lake is inaccessible, however the western side of the lake offers camping, picnic and day use facilities. |
