Chenamus Lake Hike

Overview

This hike is a favorite family berry-picking jaunt come huckleberry season (late August-early September). Early in the summer, be prepared for the legendary Indian Heaven skeeters. The Placid Lake Trail takes you past the lake of that name to a junction, whence you head right on the Chenamus Lake Trail to that more secluded destination. Bear in mind that this is the high Cascades and gloomy weather often hits these slopes even when it's warm and bright down in the lowlands. Also, there are a number of use trails in the area and many official trails in the northwest section of Indian Heaven were realigned a couple of decades ago, with the old tracks still obvious in some cases. If you are in for a longer adventure, one leg of which is on the unmaintained section of the Chenamus Lake Trail, try the Placid Lake Loop Hike .
