Description
From Lemish Lake Trailhead to its junction with Charlton Lake Trail No. 19 at Road 4290, this trail passes through lovely meadows and varied forest types. Overall this is a good mountain bike trail, especially as a loop via Clover Meadow Trail No. 21 & Clover-Lemish Tie No. 18. The side trip to Lily Lake is a highlight though is best done on foot due to steep and wet terrain. The Pacific Crest Trail beyond Lily Lake is closed to bikes. Early season mosquitoes can be fierce in this area.
