Hanging Lake Hike (pic's)

So the second question is - why no swimming?

A park ranger told us not to touch the bottom with our feet because it will destroy that part of the moss growing over that part of the bottom. If you decide to "cool off", he said to do it fully clothed, and out by the log because it doesn't say "no climbing on the downed tree sticking out in the middle of the lake", and who can really ticket you for accidently falling in?

Your body oils destroy the minerals to make/keep it looking so nice.

I am not sure I agree with that 100% but then again I am not an ecologist. I would think that with the millions of gallons of water and the fact that you can get in the water falls above that feed it, that might not be true....

Been quite a few years since I hiked up there. Isn't it about a one mile hike that takes you up about 1000 feet of elevation? Seems I remember it being pretty steep.
