Smith Lake is located about one mile
northwest of the Gray Eagle Lodge in the
Lakes Basin Recreation Area
south of Graeagle, California.
Smith Lake Trail passes along the south
side of the lake on its way from the Gray Eagle Lodge to the
Plumas-Eureka State Park.
A Plumas National Forest sign at the lake gives the
lake elevation as 6094 feet. The mountain lake features
lakeshore campsites around the rocky lakeshore.
Trout fishing and swimming are popular summer activities at Smith Lake.
