Young Man Lake is located in Glacier National Park, in the U. S. state of Montana. Young Man Lake is in a cirque and hanging valley immediately east of Flinsch Peak. A series of waterfalls carries waters from the lake to nearby Boy Lake.[2] Though the Pitamakan Pass Trail, which is also part of the Continental Divide Trail, passes just north of Young Man Lake, there are no designated trails to the lake itself.[3] The lake is difficult to access and consequently named because only a "young man" might have the ability to reach the lake.[4]
An airplane wreckage was discovered at the lake on July 28, 1976, by another aircraft; some of the wreck had slid into the lake. Recovery crew identified the plane as having disappeared on November 1, 1975, with two Idaho residents on board.[5]
