I hiked out here and camped about 3 weeks ago. The hike and lake were very pretty and offered many different types of terrain and foliage. The lake was about 2/3 frozen still, and the trail had a few snow patches. It is very worth it to spend the night up there, but bring bug spray! No mosquitoes in late June, but definitely other pesky insects. The trail gets a little hard to follow near the top but by then you'll have a good idea of where the lake is. Loved this hike and it has a good distance/payoff ratio!

My dad & I ventured this one out with 30lb packs at the end of last October. There was about 6inches of snow around the start of the hike and over a foot until we hit our camp spot. Definitely a harder hike when you add packs and snow in. We hit the lake in the morning for fishing, and the view was gorgeous! Worth it.

I would highly recommend visiting Jennie Lake. A friend camped at the trailhead on a Friday night day hiked the trail the next morning, at the end of September 2015. The lake itself was great, tucked in to some beautiful scenery with granite walls and high mountain vegetation. While at the lake I did a little catch and release fly fishing. Using cinnimon ants, I caught two surprisingly large 14" Cutthroats. The trail follows Bear Creek which offers some shade in the morning hours as well as photo-ops and water for the dogs (if you bring them along). We did run into some hikers on the way out and I think the trail is more popular than I initally thought, due to the abundance of camp sites at the lake itself. The trail is closer to 5 miles one way and has about 2,700' of accumulated elevation gain, most of which is headed to the lake. I used my Garmin to track the journey and you can see the data here: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/911581475
