Follow Highway for 32 miles to the intersection with Mountain Loop
Highway in Darrington. Turn right and follow the road for 3.1 mile.
Look for a small parking on the right side of the road in about 0.2
mile after Mt. Baker-Snoqalmie National Forest sign, but before the

The
trail goes gradually uphill. For about 0.3 mile it follows the creek
with a very steep bank, then comes to the road and in about 0.2 mile
reaches the bridge. In a mile the trail brings you to the lake. 
The lake is pretty, with lots of lilies. |
