Besides McGinnis Lake just south of here, Skinny Fish Lake is one of two gorgeous lakes at the base of the Flat Tops on the west side of the Chinese Wall. It is a nice hike, but also a perfect destination for some fishing for trouts. If you want to spend the night, the best camp spots are on the west side of the lake.
