Magone Slide Trail #353

This 1.5 mile trail is a relatively quiet in spite of its location close to the Magone Lake Recreation Area. The trail ascends slightly over 300 feet through old ponderosa pine stands which were growing when the slide occurred that created Magone Lake about 1860. The trail makes a great hike to warm up after a swim, or for those interested in seeing an interesting geological feature. Within walking distance of Magone Lake Campground this is a great trail for campers or day use visitors.
