Guess the spot

[marmot_boi]

Here's a hint: South of Montana.
This lake is catch and release only water for native cutthroat trout.

Porcupine Lake, CO

Nice job.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Now it's in the right thread.

ID the lake.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

First hint: it's within 1000 miles of Nebraska.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

OK, I'll narrow it down a bit, it's in a National Park.

I'll throw out at WAG and say heart lake

Waiting on @scatman to swoop in and snipe this one.

Ribbon Lake?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

None of the above.

It does kind of look like Ribbon Lake.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

C'mon @scatman you let me down, I am crushed.

Correct Park though.

Well, I believe I've stayed at every lake in the park that has a backcountry campsite at it except for Buffalo Lake. Some of the lakes look quite similar you know. I'm heading out to cycle up City Creek, so I'll look more closely when I return.

For some reason there were weed whackers and leaf blowers up City Creek, killing my Zen cycling experience. Alright @Outdoor_Fool, let's get after this. I'll tell you what it is not. It is not Cascade Lake, Wolf Lake, or Ice Lake. I'll leave Grebe in the mix, but only because I'm not sure what the lake looks like from campsite 4G5. I don't believe it is from any of the other three sites around the lake though. How am I doing so far? I don't believe it is any of the lakes in the northwest corner of the park either. Hmmm....................... My first guess is going to be Mallard Lake.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Correct, correct, correct, correct, correct, correct, good, correct, wrong.

 

[marmot_boi]

It also can't be Wapiti Lake because of that grassy area, and it is way too small to be Shoshone or Yellowstone (unless it's one of the arms, but I suspect not.) So I'll throw out Buffalo Lake.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Not Buffalo.

 

[marmot_boi]

Also doesn't look like Mariposa Lake. Wrangler? We're running out of lakes here.

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Yep and nope.

 

[scatman]

Summit Lake is my second guess

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

Correct. You're up!
