After having gone to Triangle Lake, I wanted to try bushwhacking to an unnamed lake on the east side of FS 4220. Since my parents were with me, they dropped me off, and I easily bushwhacked to the lake's edge. The lake wasn't quite visible from the road, but it was a very easy, short bushwhack to its edge.


Forest

The forest was more open with decomposing trees and short huckleberry bushes covering the forest floor. The huckleberries were in bloom; I munched on them while making my way through the forest. It was pretty flat, which was nice. I made it to the lake's edge and saw a faint boot print, so it appears someone else had been here recently as well. There was no trail, fisherman's path, or faint animal trail as far as I could tell.


The lake had a bit more of a marshy look to it and was relatively small. It was easy to bushwhack back to the road.
