    Tips

    This lake can be reached via its homonym trail from Crag Crest, which makes for quite a scenic hike as you go up and down the crest. However, may people, especially those going fishing, will reach the lake by car by taking Forest Service Road 257. For that reason, the western part of the lake is usually a bit quieter.
