Dorothy Lake Trail: WTA Work Party

Skykomish Ranger District
This work party starts at 8:30AM

Puget Sound area off Hwy 2. This trail is a great day hike of only 1.5 miles to the lake. We'll work mainly on repairing a section trail about 0.5 in that was damaged when a tree fell and its rootwad took the trail with it. We'll remove the rootwad and repair the trail.

In the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. It can be a great shady day hike of only 1.5 miles to Dorothy Lake, or an 18.0 mile round-trip past Dorothy, Bear, Deer and Snoqualmie Lakes. You'll find views of Big Snow Mountain, 6,680 feet along the route. Since this route is accessible from both US 2 and I-90, expect big crowds. Hikers and leashed dogs only, 1.5 miles to the lake.
