Hanging Lake Trail

About

The Hanging Lake Trail is a steep and challenging hike that climbs approximately 1,000 feet in just under a mile to reach the lake. Hikers can expect a difficult ascent on a well-maintained trail with many stairs and rocky terrain. The trail culminates at Hanging Lake, a rare example of a lake formed by a geologic fault, where visitors can take in the unique scenery and observe the lake's distinctive ecosystem. The trail is open year-round, but winter conditions may require additional preparation and equipment, and visitors should be prepared for crowds during peak season, as parking is limited despite being available.
