Overview
This delightful, easy hike is a great choice for the family and is a good backpack option for the young 'uns. June Lake is one of Mount Saint Helens ' barrier lakes, where 2,000 years ago pyroclastic flows dammed one of the eastern tributaries of Swift Creek. The lake became further silted up by airborne debris from the 1980 eruption. There are campsites near the lake, but make sure you pitch your tent more than 100 feet from the lake shore. While the lower section of the trail was logged in the past, there are some impressive old growth conifers near the lake.
