Multiple lakes within walking distance from here. There are mosquitoes so bringing spray is a must. We walked into Lower Erma Bell lake and to the waterfall. The trail is clear and an easy walk.

Trailhead to Erma Bell Lakes & Falls area plenty of parking with clean waterless vault restrooms $5.00 fee / $30.00 annual park pass 45 minute hike with very little elevation change to the first lake then 15 minute hike to Erma Bell Falls As for the mosquitos we used bug spray and it helped more than not having any (but they are intense) so don't forget your bug repellent
