Hidden Lake?

Between Reflection Lakes and Martha Falls, you come upon a lake hidden in between a couple of ridges.  You can't see this lake very well from the highway, and the Wonderland Trail skirts the lake.  However, just as you are descending from the intersection with the trail to Sluiskin Falls, you get a glimpse of a wonderful little alpine lake.

The lake is called Louise Lake, and there is a little side trail off the Wonderland Trail to get down to the lake.  There was a man fishing there, however, we were not sure if he had caught anything. 
The lake looked to have no stream coming out of it.  The outlet into Sunbeam Creek was fairly well hidden, flowing out of a narrow valley on the northeast part of the lake.  (Upper right corner of the first photograph.)  The lake was fed by a couple of minor creeks, barely visible through the trees.
