Raspberry Lake is a 6-mile out-and-back hike in the Siskiyou Wilderness, part of the Happy Camp Ranger District of Klamath National Forest in California. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is a natural-surface route that climbs from about 4,600 feet to about 5,400 feet, with a total elevation gain of 859 feet. The hike is rated hard, and the climb is one way. The route starts at the low point and reaches the high point before returning, so the full round trip adds the gain twice. The Siskiyou Wilderness Preston Loop lies about 0.7 miles away, and Rattlesnake Meadows and Youngs Valley are each within about 1.6 miles. Sanger Lake, a fishing spot, is about 1.9 miles off.
