About Waterdog Lakes Trailhead
The lower lake is relatively small with few fish but the upper lake is great for brooktrout. Wildflowers are abundant during July and August. Use caution when crossing the highway to the trailhead. Camping is permitted but your camp must be setup at least 100 feet from the lakes. Pack out your trash and enjoy your hike!
