About this water

This is a loop trail in the Eagles Nest Wilderness which can be hiked in either direction. From the trailhead, you will have a view of Cataract Falls in the distance across the lake. The trail passes through beautiful meadows and there is an abundance of wildflowers in mid to late June. This is a great hike for families and has beautiful lake, mountain and meadow scenery along the way.* There is a printable Recreation Quicksheet for this trail which is complete with directions, a map, details, and other information about this trail. Or to see quicksheets for other recreation areas across the Forest, click on the "Recreation Quicksheets" link in the right column and select the appropriate Ranger District.
