Flat Lake Trail is a short, easy hike in the Escalante Ranger District of Dixie National Forest in southern Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is about a mile long, with a one-way climb of roughly 150 feet from a low point of about 9,486 feet to a high of about 9,656 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and open to both horses and bikes, so it works for riders and pack animals as well as hikers. Flat Lake sits just 0.1 mile away, and Blue Lake Trail is about 0.2 mile off, making it easy to pair this walk with time on the water or another short outing. Barker Recreation Area, about a mile away, offers camping, and Posey Lake Campground is roughly 7 miles away for a longer stay.
