A scenic highway, State Route 231, climbs from Interstate 80's exit 351 in Wells to the eastern shore of the lake. Located at the base of a steep cirque, the lake is surrounded by high  cliffs. Greys Peak (10,674 ft, 3253 m) rises high to the west, and to the south is a group of pinnacles known as Chimney Rock. Far below and to the east lies Clover Valley and the community of Wells. Angel Lake is one of the most popular recreation sites in the area. On its shore is a 26-site campground, and an 11-site picnic area. The lake itself is available for fishing and non-motorized rafts. A paved trailhead provides access for routes to nearby Smith Lake and to the more distant Greys Lake. Down the access road can  be found a trailhead for Winchell Lake, and the Angel Creek Campground. The lake was named after Warren M. Angel, an early rancher in nearby Clover Valley.
