Buck Lake

This is a very kid-friendly hike to a quiet alpine lake. There are campsites at the lake. This trail begins at Buck Lake Road (Forest Road 5810-210) (3,820’) and ends at Buck Lake (4,080’). The trail climbs at a moderate grade to the west shore of Buck Lake. Buck Lake is a once virtually unknown watering hole that only the locals knew of, but has recently become a more popular spot as word has gotten out about this naturally stunning spot. Buck Lake is a crystal clear stream-fed watering hole, with a rocky perch alongside one part of the shore, making for an excellent spot to soak in the sun and enjoy the scenic views. Buck Lake is a 3/4 mile hike from the road, but totally worth it for a beautiful day lakeside.
