About Chipmunk Lake
Reaching Chipmunk Lake starts with Ypsilon Lake TH and a listed one-way distance of 4.3 miles. The lake sits at 10,660 feet in Horseshoe Park / Lawn Lake Area, and the route is rated hard here.
It sits above Horseshoe Park. The Lawn Lake and Horseshoe Park area climbs from open valley terrain into the Mummy Range high country. The approach from Ypsilon Lake TH is 4.3 miles one-way and belongs in the hard tier for this guide.
NPS and USGS both document the 1982 Lawn Lake flood as a major hydrologic event in this drainage, which gives the quiet lake basins above Horseshoe Park an unusually visible park-history layer.
