In
about 0.2 mile from trailhead there is a junction where the left fork
leads to the Pinnacle Lake
(2.1 mile). Continue on the right fork to Bear Lake. Very easy 10
minute hike through old wood brings you to the lake, which is surrounded
by the forest. 
This area has been heavily used and suffered from that over the years.
Camp at least 100 feet from the shore and use a backpacking stove.
A backcountry toilet is on the North shore of the lake. |
