Description:
Coney
Lake is a beautiful lake that lies in the valley to the northwest and below
Mount Audubon and Paiute Peak in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. The lake is
lined on three sides with wind-stunted spruce. Most of the shore can be accessed
for fishing. Strong winds make it difficult to fish at times. A camping permit
for the Coney Creek Travel Zone is required to camp.
