Hike along the west shore of picturesque Timberline Lake, take a break or pitch your tent (if you have a permit to do so). The flowing Whitney Creek is a nice water source.

Upper Whitney Creek forms several small lakes and wetlands while flowing down the gently sloped high valley plateau east of the mountain.

The best place to swim is the lakeshore just before Whitney Creek flows out of the lake to the East.
