Notes
This short section of the trail is a great warm up for a season of hiking - although this trail is great any time of the year. For those interested in a longer trek, the trail continues for another 10 miles beyond the campground.
From the trailhead, you'll be treated with a range of sound levels - from the rushing of water over boulders to the faint sound of a woodpecker pecking in the distance or a small babbling brook underfoot.
This is a great trail to bring the camera as the view of Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan from the Maple Grove Campground can be spectacular. A great time for photo ops would be a clear to partly cloudy day when the lake is calm. Depending on when you take this trek, you may be fortunate to see fish jumping out of the water.

Hiking with Children
Teach kids what to do if they get lost or separated from the group. They should hug a tree near an open area and stay put. They should also know how to signal for help. And more!
