Summary: The scenery on this hike is absolutely beautiful. The wildflowers are at their peak around the beginning of August, but the route is thoroughly enjoyable at any time of the season. The trail winds through several open meadows, though you will encounter groves of pine and spruce trees along the way. From Tony Grove Lake, the trail climbs uphill at a fairly gradual grade for about 1/4 mile. When you reach the junction with the Naomi Peak Trail, turn right and continue climbing for another 2 miles. This will be the highest part of the trail, which is about 775 feet above the trailhead. Approximately 2 miles in, the trail will begin to descend into the White Pine Basin. To the west, you can see Mt. Magog. The lake is just beyond Mt. Magog, to the north, although it is not yet visible from the trail. The area the lake is situated in is breathtaking. White Lake sits between Mt. Magog, and Mt. Gog. For this hike, the view alone is worth the effort! Trailhead: Follow US-89 up Logan Canyon approximately 20 miles to the Tony Grove Lake turnoff. The road travels about 7 miles up this canyon and will take you to the Tony Grove Lake trailhead.

Reviewed by TT on 7/25/2011 Great hike. We went in on 7/22 out the next day. Trail is in great shape. Minor snow, but all campgrounds open and the weather was perfect. Beautiful spot and very courteous group of campers and pristine setting. Keep it that way. Spotted a moose just off the trail about 1/4 of a mile from Tony Grove trailhead on the return trip. 
Reviewed by Dave on 2/14/2011 Beware winter hikers - this isn't set up for anyone other than angry, aggressive snowmobilers. The trailhead isn't reachable unless you've got one.
Reviewed by Jordan on 12/16/2010 A very nice hike. Not too easy but not difficult. There is great scenery. Dogs are allowed contrary to the previous review as this is the white pine lake in logan canyon not cottonwood canyon.
Reviewed by adub on 9/8/2010 nice hike,just wanted to point out, for user groups it lists dogs, this is not the case and bringing a dog on any hike in little cottonwood canyon is likely to result in a water shed citation. enjoi 
Reviewed by runforcandy on 7/18/2010 My husband and I did this trail at the end of June 2010. Very nice trail with easy stream crossings. After the saddle that drops into the lake area there was more snow and mud to get around in the shady sections, but we were disappointed to find that pack horses had travelled off trail and really tore up the soft delicate soil and plants next to the trail. We also hiked up Mt. Gog in this trip and had spectacular views and even a bear sighting on Mt. Magog, but there was still too much snow to xc over to the Naomi trail to go out, so we hiked out the same way we came in. Nice looking rainbow trout in the lake too and the campsites look clean also.
Reviewed by Carl on 7/13/2009 Hiked on June 29, 2009. The trail and lake are virtually the same as when I started going there in the 1950s with Dad, my favorite place to go for a fishing trip. The mountain flowers are beautiful, rustling of the Quaking Aspen trees pleasant and the smells of sage brush and fresh air are wonderful. There were still some banks of snow visible.
Reviewed by mdw on 6/29/2009 Great local, non-technical hike. Good for friends who visit or for trail running. It's a quick out and back with lots of nice aspen groves along the way.
Reviewed by MH on 6/20/2009 My husband and I backpacked in for a camping trip when I was about 6 months pregnant, so it really is an easy hike. The hard part is the end where the trail dips into the valley where the lake is situated. (Really, it's climbing out of the valley on the way back.) If you take your time doing it, it's no problem. The view is amazing. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous. You are responsible for informing yourself about these hazards and taking necessary precautions.
