Area Status: Open
Mildred Lakes, First Lake

This way trail within Mount Skokomish Wilderness is a path established by hikers and fishermen over the years. It is not maintained. It is well established to Huckleberry Creek, but beyond this point it becomes steep and difficult to follow. 

The elevation gain on this trail is deceiving as it climbs up steeply, then down, then up again and then down to the lakes. Because of the primitive characteristics of this trail, it is strongly recommended that boots with high tops be worn when hiking this trail.
