About

Lake Helen was named after Helen Brodt, the first white woman to summit Lassen Peak back in 1864. This deep blue lake is nestled at the foot of Lassen Peak and reflects the snowcapped mountain above.

Feel free to dip your toes or even go for a swim. But be warned that the lake's crystal clear water is exremely cold!
