Get out and Hike

Cascade Lake Loop – Easy

Parking is available at the Day Use Area, by the South End Campground, or at the western boundary off Rosario Road. The loop is a family-friendly hike with wide, easily marked trails and numerous lookouts for photo shoots or for just taking a break. The trail runs by each Lake Campground and campers can enjoy daily walks to different sections of the lake.

The Cascade Lake Loop is open year-round to hikers only.
