It is readily reached via the Rattlesnake Road, but it can also be reached via a moderately difficult 0.3 mile scramble that climbs 400' in elevation from the Lower lake.

Of course, you can also choose to drop the 0.3 mile via user trails to Lower Lola Montez Lake from here. See Tahoe National Forest Recreation Map.
