Ninemile Lake Trail

Ninemile Lake Trail trailhead is found right across the road from Ninemile Lake Campground.  The first 0.5 miles of trail are maintained, and the trail continues as an unmaintained 4.5 mile loop.  The unmaintained trail sees little use, so advanced wayfinding and navigation skills are necessary.  Expect long segments to be brush covered and difficult or impossible to locate as well as deadfalls across the trail.  A topo map and compass are required.
