Jason Wright:
The trail to Blackmare Lake is in very poor shape. The fire last year weakened the trees and the wind took down many of them. There are several 24-36' logs across the trail preventing horse travel. Hikers can make the trek, but expect to be climbing over a lot of down timber. The trails themselves are not terrible, but they are very loose with decomposed granite sand.
The other big problem with the trail is that past the signs at the first bridge, there is absolutely no direction as to where the trails will take you or how far you are along the trails.

    If you are in Valley county it's always a good idea to stop by Blackmare Lake. Blackmare Lake is a beautiful lake in the Salmon River Mountains. This lake is so wonderful. Ashley Inn is a delightful site to get some rest, and do take a hike on the Needles Trail. A nice spot to camp here at Blackmare Lake is Poverty Flat Campground, and if you've had enough of Blackmare Lake, Square Top Lake is close by.
The peak of Square Top can be spotted from Blackmare
 
   Lake, of course you could also stop by Bills Lake if you're here; it's not far at all. But wait, there's more to do next to Blackmare Lake. Have a great hiking adventure along the Dollar Creek Ridge Trail, and while you're here, you might as well take a look at Blackmare Summit.

Now, you may assume
 
               that's lots but there's even more enjoyable stuff to do here in the Salmon River Mountains. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Salmon River - South Fork, and if you come at the right time of year, Salmon River - South Fork offers some nice whitewater. This lake is so wonderful. And if that's not enough there's loads more exciting stuff to do in the Salmon River Mountains. Camping at Kennally Creek Campground is always a wonderful experience; going for a hike along the South Fork Blackmare Cutoff will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood.

Miners Peak Trail
The trail has not been maintained. I was able to hike it easily to the top 2 or 3 years ago. Not today...It was overgrown a lot and substantial deadfall. There are some burned spots also. That said, it's beautiful and a rigorous hike. Wear pants as the twigs will scratch you, and take insect repellant. Check your body for ticks also. The lookout is cool....
