Description
The large Snag Lake is located to the south of Cinder Cone and the Fantastic Lava Beds at an elevation of 6,050 ft (1,840 m).[1] Water from the nearby Horseshoe Lake empties into Snag Lake via Grassy Creek.[2] Water from Snag Lake continues to flow through the porous lava field that led to the lake's creation eventually making its way into Butte Lake.[3]
