Does anybody know if there are bear containers near ranger lake in seqouia so one wouldn't have to bring a bear can?

The internet is your friend: https://www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/bear_box.htm

list includes Ranger Lake as a location where there is a bear box.

The page also notes: "DO NOT count on food-storage boxes being available; they may be full or may have been removed due to breakage or disuse. For example, boxes in the Kearsarge lakes areas are currently unavailable."

There is one, yes, but I don't know if it is rodent proof or not.
