Description
From the junction with the Old Railroad Grade, the Greg Ball Trail climbs steadily but very gradually up to Wallace Lake. The trail is usually not as crowded as the trail to Wallace Falls, and you'll enjoy a scenic hike along the North Fork Wallace River. The trail ends at Wallace Lake where you can enjoy a break along the quiet shores of the lake before returning back the way you came.
