Kitsap County’s Nels Johnson Lakes are located about 5 miles SW of Port Orchard. One lake covers 4 surface acres and the other one 5 acres. Both are quite shallow and lie at an elevation of 430 feet. Fish species include bluegill and largemouth bass. Public access is through Camp Calvinwood State Park. The park is not open to vehicles so you must park on a narrow road shoulder off of Lake Flora Road and walk into the lakes. It is a little over a half mile to the lakes.
