The road is open to both lakes. The lake is located off of highway 88 just over Ebbetts Pass. They have primitive camping available. The road in from 88 is about a 7 mile dirt road, but is accessible to all vehicles. The first lake has good brook trout and the second lake has small brookies. Salmon eggs or flys is my only recommendation. And don't forget your camera. The views are spectacular from ground level. If you decide to take a day hike. The entrance to the Mokelumne wilderness starts right there.
