1.6 miles on a moderate grade uphill (with a couple of semi-steep places). All in all, a pretty easy hike up and a very easy hike down of 45 minutes. Easy shoreline access is limited by brush and other obstacles. A float tube would come in very handy here. All in all, a fine day trip and not a bad way to introduce some young ones to the pleasures of alpine lake fishing! Holds cutthroat. Aug 10th, 2002 John Kruse
