Lake Irwin Road is an easy, graded dirt road that meanders through a pine forest to the scenic Lake Irwin and Lake Irwin Campground. In the summer months, Lake Irwin is popular for fishing, boating, paddle boarding, and swimming. Nearby is the prominent Ruby Range, comprised of Ruby Peak and Mount Owen, which provides spectacular mountain scenery.
The road is well maintained and wide, posing no issue for any vehicle wanting to access Lake Irwin, including larger vehicles or vehicles towing trailers. Along the road, there are a few marked areas for dispersed camping, and at the end of the road is Lake Irwin Campground, which offers a more traditional campground camping experience.
