Location Information
NATURAL FEATURES
Kline's Folly Campground, elevation 10,660 feet, is in an open subalpine meadow on the edge of a small lake, just south of 480 acre Heart Lake. The surrounding landscape is relatively flat with spruce/fir forest on the other side of the little lake.FACILITIES
Kline's Folly Campground is the smallest campground on the Eagle Ranger District with only 4 sites at the edge of a small lake in an open meadow. There is a small parking area and the sites are just beyond it, designated with a picnic table and a fire ring grill. There is no place for RVs or vehicles with trailers. Drinking water and trash disposal are not available. Water may be obtained from the Broken Rib Spring 10.5 miles back down the Coffee Pot Road, FDR 600, but the Forest Service would like to remind visitors that this water is not tested regularly. There is one vault toilet on site. ATTRACTIONS:
4-WHEEL DRIVE ROADS - There are a number of 4-wheel drive roads for use by
jeeps, ATVs and motorcycles around the Heart Lake and Deep Lake areas. FDR 618, 632, 641, 642, 643, 644 and 645 are all popular. Please stay on the roads. The subalpine meadows are fragile and do not readily recover from off-road driving. FISHING - Nearby Heart Lake, 480 acres, has brook trout which are regularly
stocked by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Bank fishing is difficult because of a shallow shoreline. Fishing from small boats is best, but fishermen are reminded that gas-powered motors are not allowed on Heart Lake.
