Trail Overview

This delightful trail is nestled in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and takes you through a beautiful, mature old-growth Ponderosa Pine. You'll find shady spots that offer a refreshing escape from the bright sun in eastern Washington. The best part of this adventure is a charming little alpine lake that has a cozy dispersed campsite nearby. It's the perfect spot to relax and soak in the natural beauty! Please protect this alpine lake and take only pictures and leave only footprints.

Difficulty

The trail is rated a 3 with water typically under twelve inches deep, depending on the time of year. Room for one vehicle with places to pull over to pass.

Someone cut the trail out for sxs sized vehicles. My jeep wrangler could not find under a tree so I had to back out.

Rough/Deteriorated
This trail should be at least a 5/10 if not higher. Once you get up towarss the 4x4 trail there is several off camber tank traps that have holes dug from sxs. I came close to flopping my Tacoma on 35s on the way back. I probably wouldn't take a Subaru through here lol

Downed Tree
Could see several downed trees, lots of water/mud. Trail did NOT look like it had been used in some time / maintained. Continued Milk Creek 4WD trail which was also a little washed out. VERY skinny pass between 2 trees (Raptor barely made it).
