65 REFLECTION LAKE, elevation 5,880 feet. A few hundred feet ahead is the road to the Reflection Lake Picnic Ground. There tables, fireplaces, and rest rooms are available for free visitor use.
Reflection Lake gets its name from the fine reflections of Lassen Peak and Chaos Crags to be seen in it from near the picnic ground. It is an excellent place for photography, especially in the afternoon or early evening.
On summer evenings nighthawks can be seen cruising over the lake, emitting their unique harsh cries and their startling “whoomm” sound in flight. Bats on the wing also are seen in the evenings feeding on insects.
