Abner Sprague homesteaded in this area more than a century ago and created a trout pond by damming a stream. Sprague also undoubtedly appreciated the breathtaking views of the Continental Divide, which are best seen from this half-mile-long trail at the far end of the lake..An accessible backcountry camping site is located in the area.

A good place for a short winter walk, or to try those crosscountry skis on a frozen lake. Good views of the Continental Divide.

Located on Bear Lake Road, one mile west of the Park and Ride shuttle bus parking lot. About 9 miles from Beaver Meadows.
