This small remote lake can be accessed a few ways. One of the more popular is hiking the Kinzel Lake Trail, built in 1925, which spans the distance between the lush river bottom environment along the Salmon River and the dry ridgetop on Hunchback Mountain. However, you can also access the lake by driving the unmaintained Sherar Burn Road (mentioned earlier last week on my Veda Lake post) for 9 miles to access the area. It is very secluded, and surrounded by gorgeous wildflower meadows.

Lovely shot! The colors are so vibrant!
beautiful! So smooth like glass. You could almost step out on it.
If I could live to make the hike, I know I would want to stay there forever. And, if my Clover was with me, I wouldn't be able to get her out of the lake. Lovely photo, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful shot.
My Watery post, have a lovely day!
