Lakes of the Great Burn
Site under development and will continue to change.

Lakes by Category: Classics

Lakes or Peaks that require a longer hike and/or more difficult grades than most of the Family Friendly rated lakes. Distances may be as much as 10 miles one-way with short sections of steep and rocky grades, especially if accessing from the State Line Trail (#738) or State Line Road (#391). Overall, the trails into the lakes will have easy, moderate and difficult sections, with a short section of cross-country travel possible. Overall, the trails into the lakes are easy to follow, but probably not signed. Some lakes have multiple routes into them and difficulty will be dependent on that. For example, hiking to the Lower Siamese Lake via Straight Creek & Chilcoot Pass is far more difficult than from the West Fork of Fish Creek or Fish Lake access points. Not all the lakes have fish or fishing can be very marginal and some shorelines can be difficult to navigate.
