Serene Lakes are more off-the-beaten-path, so they tend to not be crowded with tourists. Historically, these were Native American fishing spots around trading routes. Obsidian arrowheads and petroglyphs have been found in this area. Mark Twain has visited these lakes, and they were a source of commercial ice blocks that were once used before refrigeration was invented.
