Trail description: Round Lake Trail extend east from Feeley Lake to the Grouse Ridge Trail, passing Island, Long, Round, and Milk Lakes.  There are several excellent campsites near Island Lake, a picturesque lake surrounded by rock knolls and scattered patches of timber.  Several rocky islands give the name to this, the largest of the lakes in the group.  Summer visitors often swim to these islands to enjoy the sun and the scenery.

Milk Lake, a deep, blue lake, has campsites near the east and west ends.  The south shore is steep, rising sharply to the ridge where Grouse Ridge Campground is located.

Pack all your trash home with you when you leave.  Keep a clean camp-do not attract animals to your site.
