description:
This little lake was named after some escapees from a nearby Nevada prison took on the law in a shootout during the late 1800's. Mount Morrison, the 12,000' peak overlooking the lake, was re-named in honor of the Sheriff killed in the gruesome battle. Only a few miles off Highway 395, the ancient granite rock towers above. Backpackers & fishermen will love the immediate access to the John Muir Wilderness areas with all the alpine lakes that dot this majestic mountain range. The one & only resort offers cabins & general store, as well as horse & boat rentals
