Quiet Lake, easy hike in

This lake is a fairly easy hike in from the end of Forest Service Road 4312, my hiking guidebook says to park at the Thorp Lake trailhead but the path is pretty overgrown and if you want to just camp park where the road terminates and walk uphill for about a mile and a half before reaching the far side of the lake. The campground is on the other side where Thorp Creek dumps into the lake. Look for fire rings and bring your trowel as there's no outhouse that I could see. Enjoy views of Thorp Mountain and if you get a wild hair climb up to reach the lookout tower on top!
