Trail: Fish Lake

Trail #: 717

Trail Conditions

Hiked this trail from the north end on the 4691-120 spur. The washout at Squirrel Creek has gotten a lot worse. It definitely needs a high clearance vehicle to pass it now. The access point on the powerline road (the end of 4691) has had work done to it. There were several cars parked there so that might be a better access point from the north.

Hiking the trail, I was surprised to see some areas did not burn. The campsite at the north end of the lake did not burn, but immediately after it did. There has been some work done on the trail but I would say it is still rather rough on the west side - LOTS of fireweed. Once you start climbing up the hill at the south end it clears up a bit - that area isn't too bad. Once on top the trail is relatively easy to follow.
