Jefferson Lake Trail #829

This 0.5 mile trail travels to Jefferson Lake, a peaceful lake that was formed during an ancient earthquake that created a rock dam at the outlet. Wildlife viewing and fishing are popular activities at this lake.

At 658 m, this is a short, accessible outing suitable for most fitness levels. Expect to complete it in around 9 minutes at a comfortable pace.

As a linear trail, this route has distinct start and end points. Return transport is worth arranging in advance unless you plan to walk back the same way. Follow the 829 waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
