Heather Lake-9,268' (Lodgepole)
(36.6010670, -118.6877318)
Description:
Named in 1925 by Superintendent John R. White, of Sequoia National Park. From Place Names of the High Sierra (1926) by Francis P. Farquhar
Heather Lake is, I think, the most attractive (if also the most ordinary) of the lakes in this area, since it's pleasantly wooded. The other lakes are somewhat more barren-looking, being surrounded mostly by bare granite. For some reason there's no camping at Heather Lake. From Redwood Hikes description
From GNIS: In Sequoia National Park, 1.1 km (0.7 mi) south of Tokopah Falls on Marble Fork Kaweah River and 0.8 km (0.5 mi) west of Aster Lake.
