About Lake Amore
Reaching Lake Amore starts with Forest Canyon Overlook (off-trail) and a listed one-way distance of 5.5 miles. The lake sits at 11,390 feet in Gorge Lakes, and the route is rated hard here. The name is marked informal in the lake data.
The listed approach is 5.5 miles one-way from Forest Canyon Overlook (off-trail), but this should be treated as a route-finding objective rather than a simple maintained-trail hike. The name is informal, and the setting is the Gorge Lakes area. In this area, the Gorge Lakes are off-trail objectives above Forest Canyon, known more to map readers than casual park visitors.
NPS wilderness tables include Little Rock Lake in the Gorge Lakes Area, a reminder that this part of the park is treated as backcountry rather than a casual viewpoint stop.
