This wide, well-graded trail follows an old fire road through the forest to Watridge Lake, offering gentle elevation gain and mountain views along the way. The route is popular with both hikers and cyclists, but recent bear activity has led to active bear warnings — including sightings of a grizzly known locally as “Wat.” Only attempt this hike if you’re confident in how to respond to wildlife encounters, carry bear spray, and make noise along the trail.
