Anyone have a Zenith 701 or similar, on floats, that they land at high altitude on tiny lakes?

I'm thinking a tiny STOL floatplane would be awesome for alpine lake camping in the Sierras... But wonder how small of a lake is sufficient at elevations of 7-10 thousand feet elevation... I'm kinda eyeballing a few that are between 500-700ft length range... Anyone doing stuff like this?
