The entrance to the old Branigan Mine may be seen on the hillside across the creek. Numerous gold bricks were shipped from this mine which began production in the 1890's. Upper Bramlet Lake may be reached by bushwhacking up .5 mile west of the lower lake. No motorized vehicles are permitted on this trail, and no vehicles are allowed within the wilderness boundary.
