Trail #89 Glacier Lake
This trail is open to hiker and horse use only.
This trail is within Goat Rocks Wilderness and accesses Glacier Lake which was formed when a landslide dammed Glacier Creek.
This trail begins on Forest Road 2110. The trail follows an old logging road for a short distance through a young forest. It then enters an ancient forest, skirts the north side of the steepwalled valley of Glacier Creek, then drops down to the creek. The trail ends at Glacier Lake, with only a rough path along the lake. Look for the large boulders strewn about as you near the lake. These boulders are part of a massive landslide that happened more than 600 years ago. The slide dammed Glacier Creek, forming the lake.
