Access roads: The Seven Lakes Basin is about 20 miles by road and trail from Mt. Shasta City. Access is via the South Fork Road (Road 26) from the W.A. Barr Road. One route to the basin is via the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) which crosses Road 26 after about 12 miles (Gumboot Trailhead). Park here and walk south on the PCT for 2.25 miles to the divide between Seven Lakes and Mumbo Basins. At the divide, take the Seven Lakes Trail (and old jeep road) to the south. From Helen Lake, go southeast about a quarter mile cross country.
Alternative access to this area is by continuing on Road 26 for an additional 2.5 miles past the Gumboot Trailhead, to road 38N61. Turn left and go about a mile to where an unmarked private road goes to the left into the head of Seven Lakes Basin, just above Helen Lake. Do not attempt to drive this private road… it is extremely steep and eroded and becomes very loose in the summer. It is about a mile walk from this point to the Seven Lakes Basin.
Camping: Several good sites. Seldom used.
Surface acres: 1 acre and 5' deep.
Comments: This lake probably has no fish. It would probably be a good place for solitude. This lake is on National Forest Land.
