This lake is so wonderful. Have a tremendous hiking adventure along the Ridge Stock Driveway; everybody nearby loves skiing at Kendall Mountain. American Lake is brilliant enough to spend more than a day at, Ridgeway is a brilliant local campground, and since you're here you can take a hike along the Bear Creek Trail.

               Trail, and everyone loves American Flats.
