We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Baker Lake Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Family-friendly area featuring hiking trails, camping, a restroom, and views of Mount Baker and Baker Lake.
What runners say about Baker Lake Trail
“The trail itself is very well maintained, I saw some blueberry trees and a bear was eating blueberry just couple of yards in front of me!”
“Even with a pot hole filled road leading to the trailhead, this area is just too beautiful not to give it 5 stars.”
“One of the best spots in spring and fall for a peaceful hike.”
“A prettty easy hike but the bridge is out at the creek crossing.”
First of all you will need the Northwest Forest pass either $10 day pass or $30 year. Just beautiful and easy trail. It's supposed to be 14 miles long. We only did a portion of it and stopped for lunch and enjoyed a beautiful scenario.
Not a lot of parking at the th. Great hike. We stayed at the Maple Grove camp grounds. The views of Mount Baker are breathtaking.
Great place take the family hiking ,Well-maintained trail. easy to moderate hike depends on which trail you go on. Plenty of camping spots with great views of Mount Baker.Great views of Baker from various points. Highly recommend it.
Very beautiful place to visit year round. The water is mostly drained in the winter so there’s less to do but there are still the hot springs. The water when full is clean and on the cold side. Plenty of camping spots and hiking trails, fun for the whole family. Discovery pass required for parking.
