Trail #101: Walupt Lake
This trail is open to hiker and horse use only.
The Walupt Lake Trail is within Goat Rocks Wilderness. It begins in the Walupt Lake Campground and follows the lakeshore until reaching Walupt Creek. The trail along the lake is flat and offers great views of the lake. At the end of the lake the trail climbs into an open alpine area before turning southeast, ending on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail #2000.
The Walupt Lake Trail was used into this century by Yakama people who came to the 384-acre lake and fished for native trout, using fish traps.
