Particularly Special Place
Description
Long Lake is located with the Brainard Lake Recreation Area in the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area. A run to Long Lake is a great way to restart running after a long break. If you can, be sure to go on a week day as there will be fewer people! There is also a nice campground nearby and several trails of different grades and difficulties heading out from the lake. Dip your feet in the water to finish.
Short Run: The lake can be accessed by one mile of easy running and there is a loop around the lake that makes for a nice run option.

Mostly Dry, Fallen Trees - Beware! We entered via Monarch Lake with a 2 night pass to camp in the Cascade Creek BZ. Despite it being mid June, we navigated over literally 50+ trees to get to the junction of Cascade Creek Trail amd Crater Lake Trail. We camped lower down, but had planned to spend our second night by Pawnee Lake. The trail was NOT NAVIGABLE past the Crater Lake junction. I spoke with the Park Service and they said they'd try to get some kind of notification up on Rec.gov. But if you're planning to do the loop, even as a runner, it's impassable due to fallen trees. They ready shouldn't be selling passes to an area that is inaccessible.
