Teave

Kiired faktid: This 4.5 kilometer loop trail circles a tranquil lake formed by glacial meltwater, surrounded by towering old-growth cedar and hemlock trees. The path is mostly flat with wooden boardwalks crossing boggy sections, making it accessible year-round for a range of fitness levels.

Esiletõstmised: At sunrise, the lake's surface turns mirror-still, reflecting the surrounding peaks in perfect symmetry while the forest slowly wakes up. Early morning visitors often spot beavers gliding silently across the water and hear the distinctive call of the varied thrush echoing through the mist.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Wear waterproof boots in spring and fall, as sections of the boardwalk can get slippery with dew and frost.
The best photo spot is at the wooden bench on the southeast shore, where the mountains frame the lake perfectly at golden hour.
Skip the afternoon crowds and go at dawn instead, you might have the entire trail to yourself on a weekday.
Bring binoculars for spotting bald eagles perched in the tall snags near the western edge of the lake.
