Hunters Lake
12 miles away
We hiked around Hunters Lake in November.  It was a rainy weekend and some of the trail was very wet but it was a flat, easy hike and the soggy ground was not hazardous.  Parking is on the opposite side of Brunnerdale from the lake.  Follow the gold blazes to hike around the lake.  They begin on your left after crossing the dam. The last mile of the hike is actually on Brunnerdale Road.  Not sure why the trail doesn't continue lakeside.  Good family outing....
