8900 feet above sea level, breathtaking scenery all around, a mirror like lake surrounded by a rolling canopy of pine trees - this is a very nice base camp in both the summer and winter. The area around the lake and leading away from the lake is chock full of activities - fishing, hiking, camping, and in the winter, even skiing. While most of the attractions to be reached from the lake are some distance away, the following are practically adjacent: Lake Mamie: A pretty lake for fishing, picnicking, or simply lounging. Twin Falls and Twin Falls Overlooks: The water from the Twin Lakes plunges into Lake Mamie at this location. Lake George: In the summer, this is the highest lake in the area that you can drive up to. Fishing, picnics and camping are popular activities. Crystal Lake Trailhead: The starting point for the hike to crystal lake is between the Lakes George, Mary and Mamie. Lake Mary is also a base for hikes to Duck Lake, Mammoth Crest, Crystal Lake, Horseshoe Lake, McCloud Lake, Mammoth Pass, Skelton Lake, and Barney Lake.
