Thank you trollin! And from the research I've done that trail that runs along that side and eventually across the south edge of the lake is the Pacific Crest Trail. Most of the books I've looked at suggest starting the hike for Timothy lake at Little Crater lake and heading south, though I think it might actually be easiest to start the hike at the Oak Fork campground.

I would not recommend starting in from NF4280 until you learn the area. When I was up there I drove out that way, and could make an educated guess where the road is nearest the lake because of the cars, but it's otherwise a little difficult to judge where along that road one is.

But yeah, it's almost like you read my mind, because hiking along that eastern shore was my next plan of attack!
