Red Lake Trail #183

The Red Lake Trail begins on a gradual incline through a large grove of maple trees. It rounds a point and begins its descent into a drainage, then crosses the stream and starts back up the other side. The trail soon levels out and winds through the maples, gradually climbing to the conifers that surround Red Lake.
