Salmon Lake Trail
DESCRIPTION:
Pleasant, comparatively easy hike, long drive, poor road especially last 2 miles. The lake is stocked with rainbow and Kamloops Junction rainbows, but is not famous for its fishing.
| Miles | Elevation Range | Options |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 6560’-6700’ | Big Bend trailhead to Loch Leven Lakes requires a more difficult climb to the lakes basin, but most people prefer that route over the rough drive. |
DIRECTIONS:
To Salmon Lake Trail
Topographic Map: Cisco Grove. Follow Crystal Lake Road east 0.4 mile to Lake Valley Reservoir Road. Turn right (south) and follow for 1.1 mile then turn left on Mears Meadow Road #19. Follow 4.2 miles and turn left (east) on dirt Road # 38 to Huysink Lake (private). Continue by lake at 1.0 mile and persist for another 1.0 mile on the steepest, narrowest part of road. Sedans are okay if driven carefully. Trailhead is located opposite the small sign on left.
ACTIVITIES:
Hiking: Dayhikes (Rating: Exceptional)
This is my favorite way to the Lock Leven Lakes.
