Description

Trapper Lake is a great spot for a relaxing lunch, especially at the overlook.

From the Leigh Lake Trail, the Trapper Lake Trail stays low and makes its way over a footbridge, across the inlet to Bearpaw Lake, and then gains a small ridge. From the ridge, Trapper Lake Trail turns north and heads for Trapper Lake.

Camping can be found further down the trail from the overlook as you approach the Trapper Lake inlet.
