Andrews Lake is located just a few hundred feet down the trail from the trailhead parking area. The 13,077-foot Snowdon Peak looms in the background and often is reflected off the water. There is a nature trail that circles the lake, or you can just cross over the bridge/dam and continue towards the wilderness trails.
