After reaching this destination, which is quite
an accomplishment to say the least, the rewards
are well reaped at this remote paddling haven.
Florence Lake rests at a high elevation
encompassed by towering mountains scattered with
stands of huge ponderosa pines. Large boulders
protrude from the water’s surface during low
water level conditions. On the way to Florence
Lake is Ward Lake, a gorgeous tiny lake with
several primitive campsites overlooking the
lake.
Only a few anglers go to this remote
destination set at 7,328’ feet elevation,
which may be due to the difficult drive to
get here, or it could be the slim trout
pickings. The trout limit is five per day,
but the lake isn’t stocked with
very many
rainbow trout, similar to Thomas Edison
Lake, so your odds of reaching the limit are
pretty low. Your best chance for landing one
of these lone critters is to troll for trout
at a slow pace along the western shore.
Florence Lake is a truly
 amazing getaway in
all senses of the word! Home to an endless
array of secluded coves and breathtaking
scenery, Florence Lake is truly a paradise
for paddlers.
