In Wyoming there are many beautiful lakes, Chris Lake is one of them. Chris Lake is one of the lakes here in the Wind River Range. Chris Lake is brilliant enough to spend more than a day at, Boulder Campground is a brilliant local campground, and probably you're looking for nearby lakes? Sure, Eds Lake is just a very short distance away. Chris Lake is usually a reasonably dried out place; through May this area sees the most rain while February is the month

Glide down the rapids of Pole Creek in a kayak, and if you've had enough of Chris Lake, Perry Lake is close by. Now, you may feel that's lots but there's even more fun stuff to do here in the Wind River Range. There's so much to do here at Chris Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Scab Creek Campground is a nice place for that, and great hiking is available along the Boulder Canyon Trail. This lake is so wonderful. | |

Get soaked paddling on Boulder Creek, and you can go for a hike on the Lake Ethel Trail.
Whohoo, so many exciting things in one place! The Wind River Range is peerless! North Fork Falls is always fun to check out. At Chris Lake
through the long summer days highs are in the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures drop down into the 40's. Daytime highs during the winter are in the 20's with winter lows in the-10's overnight here at Chris Lake. This place,
Chris Lake, it absolutely has so much outdoors cool stuff. There's good hiking along the Horseshoe Lake Trail, and if you need a site to stay Best Western Pinedale Inn is a fine choice.

Hay Pass Trail
 | I backpacked over Hay Pass (from Boulder Lake Trailhead to to Golden Lakes) last July 25. Easy ascent to pass except for stream crossings, trail gets faint for about 1/4 mi.above Dennis Lake (quite a view down to the lake. At the outlet of the unnamed lake (Beth Lake???) below the pass on the west side (at head of North Fk Boulder Cr.) water was high & swift, so I routed eastward around to the head of the lake crossing 2 inlet streams where they braid apart. through thick willows- a slow deal, but better than hip-deep swift water at the outlet. Great cutthroat fishing at Victor Lake (on fish to 19) during a hail storm. Guess the fish thought the hail was a swarm of bugs. Saw nobody else from Victor lk. to Golden Lks and back (3 days). Not the most spectacular scenery in the range (peaks are mostly round-topped, not like the jagged peaks to the north or south), but no people and great fishing (Golden Lakes had lots of 14 goldens but they were not biting- typical of goldens). Going in again this July, only farther this time, north of Golden Lakes. Anybody going that way?... |
Scab Lake Trail
| scab lake trail is not one for the weak, it is a hard climb with outstanding rewards of beauty & huge high powered brilliantly colored brook trout up to 6 lbs that we know of in scab lake! oh almost forgot the last time I went was July 5 it snowed at scab 18 plus inches, I hope that I remembered to tell that the 11 mile trail to the scab lake is a hard hard climb, I have only made it 3 times to the lake thanks Allen Eagle concrete worker & stock car racer Jackson Hole... |
Suicide Lake

Had some excellent fishing for brook & cutthroat trout at Suicide Lake in August '05. The fishing was so hot I caught 2 at once.... |
Triangle Lake
| 14 miles away
This lake is almost impossible to get to. I have been within two miles of the lake and can't get to it because of the dangers that surround it. There are cliffs and the trail to the lake is a slippery waterfall.... |

I went up there 15 years ago and just got back from another week this last weekend....the fishing was much, much better in the past. I think the WY Game and Fish spends all their golden trout stocking funds on wolves now. The stocking ended the year the wolves were reintroduced.........Hmmm, isn't that interesting! Also....too many llamas and horses bringing the light-weights up the mountain to clutter the place this time....the trails looked like a lost group of Custard's cavalry must still be riding the trails. :( But the beauty of the area will always remain. Thank you, Lord, for your beautiful handiwork.... |
