Description
Because Taylor Lake is so close to the road, it gets heavy visitor and fishing use. The trail is accessible to wheelchairs; however, it is made of packed earth rather than pavement (due to wilderness management). The grade of this trail is about 5%, except the last 100 yards to the lake which is about 7%. Fishing is best early and late in the season. Stock feed is available.
