Background

In 1919 a writer named Dr. Bessy surveyed the lake from his base at Bent's Camp Resort. In his examination of the flora he determined that Mamie and the other lakes and landforms in the area were formed by a glacier which created a dump moraine. Trees around the lake are mainly hemlock and yellow birch. The lake is the southernmost of the ten lakes on the Cisco Chain.[1]
