Young Man Lake

Young Man Lake is located in Glacier [National Park |Glacier National Park], in the U. S. state of Montana. Young Man Lake is in a cirque and hanging valley immediately east of Flinsch Peak. A series of waterfalls carries waters from the lake to nearby Boy Lake. Though the Pitamakan Pass Trail, which is also part of the Continental [Divide Trail], passes just north of Young Man Lake, there are no designated trails to the lake itself. The lake is difficult to access and consequently named because only a "young man" might have the ability to reach the lake.
An airplane wreckage was discovered at the lake on July 28, 1976, by another aircraft; some of the wreck had slid into the lake. Recovery crew identified the plane as having disappeared on November 1, 1975, with two Idaho residents on board.
