Campbell Lake Loop Hike

Overview

The Shackleford Creek Trail is one of the main hiking routes in the Marbles. It is very popular in the summertime as the pathway to a number of charming lakes. A hike up the creek from the trailhead, through an old-growth forest and scattered patches of huckleberry oak and Jeffrey pine, gets you to Campbell Lake , a large, shallow body of water strewn with a number of campsites around its shore. A short side trip takes you to Cliff Lake, the deepest lake in the Marbles. Another side trip takes you to two lakes, Summit Lake and Summit Meadow Lake, that lie hidden in cirques of the mountain that looms over Campbell Lake . From these lakes, it's only three-quarters of a mile up to the ridge crest and the Pacific Crest Trail. If you plan to backpack, get a free permit at the USFS ranger station in Fort Jones, CA.
