South Lake

South Lake winds along the eastern edge of the South Lake village boundary, departing from Juniper Flat and tracing a course through open BLM land with the Sequoia National Forest mountains as a constant backdrop. The hard-packed sand surface is punctuated by rocks and several deep wash crossings that keep the trail engaging throughout. Wildlife is notably active in this corridor. Coyotes and jackrabbits are frequently spotted, making this one of the more scenic and lively trails in the network beyond just the mountain views.
