Fawn Lake and Blacktail Ponds present a somewhat different story. Both are
home to larger than average brook trout, and both are not good places to
take kids or beginning anglers, since each presents a fairly serious danger.

away. This is not a hike that should be attempted alone or without bear
spray. Blacktail Ponds --really one pond with two pools connected by
