Echo Lake in the Blue Sky Mountains is an absolute gem, offering breathtaking views year-round. Whether you’re visiting in the summer or winter, the scenery never disappoints. In the warmer months, the lake is a perfect stop on your way up to the mountains, where you can enjoy a delicious barbecue while taking in the stunning surroundings. The cool mountain air, combined with the picturesque landscape, makes for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Winter, however, brings a whole new level of beauty to Echo Lake. The snow-covered peaks and frozen lake create a serene, winter wonderland. That said, be prepared for cold temperatures, especially in winter, and watch out for icy, slippery roads as you make your way to the lake. It’s important to dress warmly and exercise caution on the roads during colder months, as they can be quite treacherous. Overall, Echo Lake is a must-see stop in both summer and winter, offering fantastic views, a peaceful atmosphere, and a great spot for a break. Whether you’re enjoying a BBQ in the summer or marveling at the snowy landscape in winter, it’s well worth the visit.

Scenic, clean and very well maintained. Went on a weekday lunch picnic with a big group (22) and luckily for us, able to set up our spread in the main bldg.. There are Restrooms by the entrance and not just Porta potties. The walk around the lake is just right for good exercise. Free, and parking available.

It was bright and sunny spring morning, after driving through the scenic byway we reached the lake. We were pleasantly surprised to find ice on the lake. The summit lake trail was closed for the season so we took a loop around the Echo lake. It was an hour or two well spent hiking around this lake. The lake shore was full of different species of bird. I would highly recommend visiting this lake.
