Overview

Forest Lake, an awesome spur off Lower Mill Canyon, takes you away from the crowd for fun on the rocks. The trail weaves through the pine forest up to about 10,000 feet and into the middle of an aspen grove. Most of the trail is shaded, creating spots where mud is frequently present. With its rock gardens and mud pits, Forest Lake keeps people of all skill levels and vehicle capabilities entertained through this short trail. This is also a great trail to camp along since you are off the busy trails. However, there can still be a fair amount of traffic on warm summer weekends. There is a large amount of wildlife present if you keep your eyes open. The top of the trail is a very peaceful spot to relax.
