Lower Cataract Lake is a small body of water in the Eagle’s Nest Wilderness. It's a really short walk from the car to the edge of the water, but you can also hike on a trail that goes around the entire lake. Far away from any big cities, this is a great spot to experience nature without a lot of crowds.
