Cayada Creek

Cayada Creek is a forest service road used to explore some really interesting places. First is the Clipper Mine, an abandoned mine that is still accessible. Take your flashlights and explore more than 100 yards deep into the belly of the mountain. Next is Coplay Lake, this is a high alpine lake with a few camping spots and some very good trout fishing. There are a few spur roads that lead you away to lookouts and weekend camping spots along the way to explore. The final destination is the hiking trailhead for Summit Lake Trail, a short 3-mile hike and access to a network of hiking trails that lead you to some pretty spectacular scenery. You can spend an entire day exploring all the fun this forest road has to offer.
