Lena Lake Trail #810

The popular 3.6 mile trail to Lena Lake and Lena Lake Campground is well maintained and is a moderate grade with long switchbacks. Please stay on the trail. Cutting switchbacks will save only seconds, while the destroyed vegetation will take years to recover. This trail is heavily used during the summer months. Beyond Lower Lena Lake, the trails are much steeper and receive less maintenance.
Enjoy a setting of forested second growth to old growth forest and beautiful 55-acre lake. Please follow Leave No Trace practices.
