Amazed to have upper Doelle Lake all to ourselves over the holiday weekend. Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.

That looks amazing. Going there with friends in a few weeks. Couple of questions you might be able to help with:

  • Thinking about hammock camping. Sometimes it's challenging to find alpine spots that have workable trees for it. Any issues with camp sites and a lack of trees suitable for strapping a hammock between?

  • Did you try any fishing? Any luck or suggestions?

  • How bad were the bugs?

Plenty of good hammock spots. Didn't see any fish in this lake, but lots in Chain and Mary (if you push on that far). Zero bugs. Enjoy!
