Is it the Leavitt Lake off of the Sonora Pass? If not, where is it?

Loch Leven Lakes
It is located near Donner Summit on I-80, Between Reno and Sacramento. The Big Bend exit is probably the best exit to use. At the moment, it is pretty well snow covered due to its elevation in the Sierras. It is a good hike to three really beautiful lakes. It is about 4 miles or so to the furthest lake in with moderate elevation gains. If you were looking for a snow shoe trip, this would be a good one.
The trip is detailed very well in the Tahoe Sierra guide book out from Wilderness Press.

Keep in mind, due to their easy accessibility, the lakes can get a bit crowded during the summer months.

There's a Loch Leven Lake out of Bishop too starting at North Lake. It was my first backpack ever in the early 80s. I got AMS pretty bad.

There's also a Loch Leven Lake in the Wind Rivers.

That would be in Wyoming, poop.
