Manzanita Lake was formed when Manzanita Creek was dammed 300 years ago by a rock avalanche from the northwest slope of the Chaos Crags, which also resulted in the debris formation known as Chaos Jumbles.[1]
The area around the lake features the Loomis Museum, a campground, and the Manzanita Lake Naturalist's Services Historic District. Located near the park entrance, the lake is open for fishing and has rainbow, brown and brook trout.[2]
