Description
This 23 acre lake sets in a subalpine setting and the views are quite spectacular.
This is a short, pleasant hike for beginning backpackers or an afternoon outing. The trail provides access for fishermen and an easy portage for small boats and rubber rafts. The 23-acre lake sits in a subapline setting, surrounded by trees and vegetation within the Boulder River Wilderness. At Deer Creek Pass, the views of Three Fingers, Mt. Bullon, Jumbo Mtn., and others are spectacular. Huckleberries are found here in late summer and early fall.
A backcountry toilet is provided.
A Northwest Forest Pass is required for each vehicle parked at the trailhead.
