Closed to all motorized vehicles April 1 to November 15 except snowmobiles.
One of the most popular trails on the Sandpoint Ranger District, this trail provides access to a beautiful mountain lake. There are views of the Pack River drainage and the Selkirk Crest along the entire route. There are several nice campsites and a bear proof food storage container at the lake.
Not recommended for horses. The access road is very rough and the trail crosses several areas of slab rock.
