Things to do in Echo Lake
Apart from admiring the gorgeous water, hiking is the number one activity at Echo Lake. Get incredible views from up high in the rocks, or get up close to waterfalls. The trails range from easy to difficult, and can be anywhere from 2 to 10 miles long, with the longer trails starting at Upper Echo Lake. The Desolation Wilderness trail starts at Upper Echo Lake, and can get you to some overnight campsites. With thousands of acres of wilderness, the Desolation trail has all kinds of lakes and streams for the more adventurous. However, in the summer it’s all about the water. Go swimming, boating, and waterskiing on the lake. There’s even a fishing hole off the dam at Lower Echo Lake. Even in the winter, you can actually enjoy snow in sunny California with cross-country skiing.
