Easy hike in with just about 600 feet of elevation. The lake was deserted (Sunday - Tuesday) and we had it all to ourselves. Because it was in the Mokelumne Wilderness there were no fires allowed, but that's a minor drawback.The lake was chilly, but not bone-cold. Great rocks to swim out to and sit on. Could easily day-hike to Evergreen, Grouse (8 miles RT) or possibly Meadow if the right route is...
Quick, 2-night trip backpacking at Island Lake.Hiked up Grouse Ridge on Saturday to do some geocaching, too.
