Because of its close proximity to Snoqualmie Pass, Interstate 90 and several cirque on both sides of Rampart Ridge, the lake is a common area for hiking, swimming, and fishing rainbow trout.[1] Rocky Run Creek outflows from Lake Lillian and outflows Lake Laura along NF road 136 on Rampart Ridge Backdoor toward neighboring Keechelus Lake.[3]
