The lakes up around Big Heart Lake are pretty decent and a pretty cool lake that is easy to hike to is Lake Valhalla.

I'll give a shout out to Pete Lake, great spot with some excellent fishing and almost no elevation gain going on.

Fishing, hot chocolate, mountain house, head lamp, BUG SPRAY (ben’s 99% deet), etc... rachel lake is a good one with rampart ridge just above. Pete lake is also a good starter, 4 miles one way. Flat,but pretty monotonous forest walking. Once at the lake it’s great though!

We ended up going to lake Dorothy this weekend for one night.  We had a good time but it rained about 70% of the time. At least it kept the skeeters down. My son and I enjoyed the time to ourselves, and we got to do a bit of exploring.  I think I ate to many blue hucks, as evidenced by frequent latrine visits lol.

Dorothy Lake is a great hike for overnights. It usually fishes well also. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Dorothy is a good lake for a first time out. There are many opportunities out there.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
