Route Description for Goldeye Lake Trail
From the parking area, the Goldeye Lake Trail starts on an obvious path that travels 300 m to the first junction. The loop starts here, and you can choose to hike in either direction as this is a short loop and comes back to the junction either way. Hike along the shore, and be sure to take in the sights during your journey. Loop back to the main junction and return to the parking area. If you want to explore this area more, plan to stay at the Goldeye Lake campground for a night or two.
