Vicar Lake Trail

The start of this trail is unobtrusively located across from a "slow" sign on the Spur 4 Trail. Head upward into the forest past a few truly enormous trees.

After the initial push through 300-400m of elevation, there is a section of granite slabs and fallen trees to navigate. Ropes have been added to the steepest sections to aid the ascent and, especially, the descent. The roped section continues for another ~300m of elevation. Push up one more section of steep terrain then enjoy as the trail finally levels off at a series of small ponds just before the lake.

This trail is an enjoyable adventure for those who are comfortable with some exposure and the hazards of climbing and descending steep terrain. The trail is well marked; no route finding is required.
