Lower Lola Montez Lake Access is reached via a moderate 3. 25-mile hike from the Soda Springs exit off I-80, with a trailhead marked on Sherritt Road where limited roadside parking is available.

The trail alternates between single-track and gravel road through private property (stay on marked trail), gaining approximately 735 feet in elevation over roughly 1. 25 hours of hiking.

The access point is suitable for day hikes and backpacking, with camping available at the lake's western end near a shallow cove.
