I did Bear Lake Trailhead to Fern Lake and shuttled back to the car. This hike provides such a variety of terrain and challenge. If you go in early summer, be mindful of snow drifts that may make finding the trail difficult.

Beautiful lake here, I believe Hallett Peak is set behind the lake if you're viewing from the northern shore (where the trail comes up from the direction of the trailhead). Looks to be a popular spot to fish, as well, and certainly less traveled than the trails between Bear, Nymph, Dream, and Emerald Lakes. Unfortunately, as our kids were too pooped at the end of this climb, we didn't make it to...

Unfortunately, as our kids were too pooped at the end of this climb, we didn't make it to Odessa or Spruce Lakes - that would've added another 3.5 miles or so to our hike, and the nearly 8 we did from the trail to this point and back was plenty.

It may not be the most impressive mountain lake you’ll see in RMNP, but I enjoyed that the hike and time at this lake was calmer and had much less traffic than many of the cliche hikes in the park. The lake is surrounded by trees and craggy mountains are close to give some awesome lake reflections.

Fern lake is a nice lake. But I have to say it is more interesting to go from fern lake trailhead to bear lake trailhead. on the trail, You can see different view, burned forest, mountain, forest,waterfall or creek. You can also check out the Odessa lake, which is more cute than fern lake.

Beautiful sub-alpine lake with clear water, an awesome bridge, plenty of fish, towering peaks, and a nice creek inlet. Worth hiking to for the respite and views!
