On the exposed portion of the switchbacks leading up Battle Ax Mountain Trail, you can stop and overlook Elk Lake nestled into the trees below. Elk Lake is a non-motorized lake that is open for swimming and paddleboarding. The campground on the west bank is popular due to the proximity to nearby trails and the affordable campsites ($12).
