Alpine, glacial, granitoid lake with good productivity and excellent reproduction. One of the larger lakes in the area. Has a mixed population of eastern brook trout and rainbow trout. Constant flow release from dams on Snow and Bigelow Lakes provide fine spawning and nursery areas and make the lake entirely self-sustaining. A popular lake with larger groups of campers due to several large camp sites in meadow above lake. Ample firewood and stock feed. The East Fork of Cherry Creek has lengthy sections of splendid trout fishing.
