This lake can be seen from the lookout just before the Ski Apache area. Normally, when I drive by the lake, it is usually very dark green or blue. The walking path goes all around the lake and is a pleasant place to walk. During the Little Bear Fire a few years ago the lake was emptied of water as helicopters dipped water to put on the fire. It took a long time for the lake to refill.
