I went on this hike in the Elkhorn Mountains of northeast Oregon while taking a day off from the drive across Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon to Washington State. A local I chatted with in Baker City recommended this hike which was a short drive northwest of that town in the Anthony Lakes area of those mountains. It was an easy drive on paved road all the way. There are several hiking options and I chose a shorter hike that looped around the north shore of Anthony Lake to connect with the trail to Black Lake. That trail passed the scenic Lilypad Lake on the way. Reaching Black Lake, I looped around it then returned to Anthony Lake looping around its south shore. This maximized the scenic views of all three of these pretty lakes. Parking at Anthony Lake required purchasing a $6 day-use pass which I got for half-price with my Senior Pass for National Parks and Federal Recreation Lands. Anthony Lake was a popular fishing destination that day but none of the several anglers I talked to had caught anything.
