The listed approach is 4.0 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. It is an off-trail objective. In this area, the Gorge Lakes are off-trail objectives above Forest Canyon, known more to map readers than casual park visitors.
NPS wilderness-site data also lists Little Rock Lake in the Gorge Lakes Area: 6.0 miles from the trailhead, -480 feet from Milner Pass of elevation change, an average snow-free date of July 15, and a site elevation of 10,280 feet.
