There are two lakes accessible from the DeCaLiBron parking area: Kite Lake and Lake Emma. While Kite Lake is just off the side of the main summit trail, Lake Emma is on a spur trail of its own and sees fewer visitors. Lake Emma is a classic rocky alpine lake with a few smaller pools next to it. This lake stays frozen late into the spring and sometimes into the summer.
Even when you don't want to venture into the peaks of DeCaLiBron, you can still run the access road up to the Kite Lake parking area. This old mining road can be hard to maneuver in a car anyway. As a plus side, when the peaks close to the public, the road still stays open.
