The entire hike to the lake, including the road, is 3.1 miles. It is a moderate, low elevation hike through old growth forest. The trail becomes brushy and difficult to find beyond Sunday Lake. The tread is gone in many places making the trail very rocky. Several large windfalls also block the route.

TRAILHEAD ACCESS:I-90 to exit #31. Turn north toward the town of North Bend. Take a right on North Bend Way and then a left onto Ballarat Street. After about 4.0 miles, follow the "Y" in the road to the left, putting one onto the North Fork County Road (#57). Continue approximately 14.5 miles to Road #5720 and a Weyerhaeuser gate.
