“A short lollipop trail, out and around Trout Lake.”

— Kari Symington
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Features: Lake — Views

Description

This is a short and steep lollipop run to a beautiful mountain lake. It features a relatively steep grade up to the lake, but not impassable for kids. The trail levels out around the lake shore. After recent rains, this part of the trail can get muddy. The inlet stream is a good place to see trout during spawning season.

Flora & Fauna

River otters, trout, osprey.
