Lake Information

The "information window" for each lake has the following information for each lake:

(1) the official name of the lake,
(2) the creek or river basin of the lake,
(3) latitude and longitude, in decimal degrees,
(4) the elevation of the lake, in feet above mean sea level,
(5) the USGS 1:24,000 (7 1/2 minute) topographic map, and
(6) notes about the access from either a highway or trail.

This should provide sufficient information to locate the lake and with the other Websites, linked in the list, and books should provide enough informaton to determine if you want to find it.
