Leavitt Lake
 | I spent many a fishing trip at Leavitt Lake. Once everyone got over altitude sickness the fishing was great. Water and the sky clear and blue. Walked in one late winter. It was a challange but worth the adventure. The kids never failed to catch limits and we all enjoyed sharing with the few people who ventured up the hill to fish. Even saw a bear or two off and on. I will have to dig out some pictures and post them.......allow stream crossings with our Ford Expedition. 4 wheel drive would be helpful, but may not be neccessary as long as the road is dry. A high road clearance vehicle would be recommended however. Very beautiful area off of Hwy. 108 just over the Sonora Pass heading east. Watch closely for the road/sign. Short afternoon thunderstorms a possibility. Great fishing for mostly brook trout. Tried hiking up to Latopie Lake where golden trout are supposed to reside, but didn't quite make it. We did however make it over to Koenig Lake which is fairly close to Leavitt. Decent camping sites. Bring your own firewood, drinking water, and toilet facilities...this is remote primitive camping via automobile at it's best. Not a whole lot of forest around as you're above the timber line just under 10,000'. Saw other campers there during our stay. Took the dogs & cut them loose as they had a good time, too. Plenty of shoreline access everywhere, and a trail that encircles the lake. When we get back up there, hopefully soon, we hope to either try a small boat or float tubes. Boat wise I wou... |
Dorothy Lake

High Emigrant Lake
| 11 miles away 1 PHOTO I went and was swarmed by literally thousands of mosquitoes.... High Emigrant Lake and the surrounding area is the most beautiful place I believe I have ever visited. I went in late July and there were still snow patches on the mountains. I swam in the lake and it was FREEZING, but refreshing as we stopped by the lake on day 3 out of 7 on our backpacking trip. It is difficult to get to this lake, but it is worth it. I will go back one day. I would live there if I could. The surrounding lakes are nice too. Its a very calming atmosphere on a nice day and there are basically no mosquitoes which is a BIG plus! It is a beautiful place. Go there!... |

Doc and Al's Robinson Creek Resort
| 14 miles away My family and I have been going to Doc and Al's for the past 18 years and love it!

If you're looking for a nice place to relax and enjoy the outdoors, this is definitely the place!
