Description

The Bench Lakes are the first two lakes you come to after leaving Redfish Creek - Barron Creek Trail #101. The trail is less than a mile and an easy, well-worth-it side trip if you have the time. There are two more lakes above but you'll have to do a little rock hopping to get to them.
