Emerald Lake - FS 50151

This trail is a short spur off of Skyline Drive that heads down off the ridge to Emerald Lake, where it ends at a small dispersed camping area with small trails leading down to the lake. This trail is easy, with there being no major obstacles along the trail as it heads down to the lake. This trail is scenic across the flat, providing some views down the canyon before it enters the trees just before the lake which is situated at the base of the steep drop-off from the ridge that Skyline Drive runs on top of. This trail is open to all vehicles and has no set seasonal closure date, but will be impassable due to deep snow during the winter and is usually clear from July through November.
