North Fork Lake is a small, isolated alpine lake at the base of Deer Mountain in the Sawatch Range. The trail up to the lake can be muddy and wet, but that fits the bill for a wilderness trail. Some mountaineers will summit the peaks rising above the basin, but all of those mountains require off-trail travel in order to summit.
