This was a really scenic, cool plunge location. Lake was pretty darn cold on the July day I went. It sits at over 10,000 ft in elevation, so likely very cold year-round, but may be tough to get to in the winter due to elevation and weather. Easy access, as parking lot is very close to the lake, does require payment to get into the wilderness area ($10-15). A lot of hikes nearby as well, so you can end with the plunge, or do the plunge and then walk it off. Overall, fun day seeking out the cold water and a great hike afterwards!
