It is one of the largest lakes in the area and is the source of the East Fork Miller River.

Waterfalls

As Florence Falls reaches Camp Robber Creek a second waterfall is produced by a series of slides and cascades, Camp [Robber Cascades].

Access

The lake can be reached by the Dorothy Lake Trail which is about 2 miles to the lake. The trail continues another 2 miles along the lake’s shore to its south end.
