Backpack and Hike
Beautiful trail along String Lake, Leigh Lake, and Lake Solitude. For even more solitude, scramble up the rocks to Micah Lake for a beautiful view and even fewer people. You won't find much of a trail up to Micah Lake but if you loosely follow the stream coming down the rocks, you'll find it pretty easily and less than a 1/2 mile off the trail.
