The lake is beautiful and worth the hike. Good amount of camping spots with different levels of privacy. No restrooms or running water, but there was some cell phone service as it's close to Port Angeles. Lots of mosquitoes

The road up was full of black ice. People need to recognize this before it's too late. It's not just shiny black asphalt. Saw someone getting towed out of the ditch on the way back. anyway, the trail is in great condition. there's packed snow about 3/4 of the way there. no spikes necessary. The lake was beautiful. My friend and I got it to ourselves for about 15 minutes. After that, the fog rolled in. A few folks after us didn't get the views we did, unfortunately. A pretty moderate hike overall.

Beautiful lake! Was the first stop on a two day hike for me. The view from the ridge was just awesome. Pretty clear weather, the few clouds hanging around just added to the epic nature and atmosphere. I met some really friendly goats. First two were a mom and her kid came right down the trail toward me. I saw many more. What I know now is they are invasive. That may be but they really made my day! There are plans to relocate them so check them out while they are still in the area. When I did my loop there was some primitive trail that was eroded on steep slope very badly and quite dangerous.

A beautiful lake with an island in the middle. Sometimes people camp there. The campgrounds are nestled in the forest and there are paths throughout. It will likely be quite crowded during peak backpacking seasons so come earlier if you want a good spot. Bring your swim suits if you want to swim too. There isn't a great beach/bank section anywhere as the lake edge is mostly composed of floating logs. Bugs and mosquitoes will come out at night.
