Black Lake from Rainy Lake Hike

Overview

The short, half-mile Black Lake Trail #409A keeps cropping up in Forest Service announcements (e.g. after the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire, it was “reopened” in 2018), but in fact the trail has been neglected for decades. Abandoned trail aficionados may find this short expedition interesting, however, and others may take advantage of its brevity to dip their wicks, so to speak, into that particular genre. It’s recommended that you do the trail, or route, from top to bottom and then walk back along FR 2820 from Black Lake .
