Lake Eva Trail

  • DESCRIPTION : The Lake Eva Trail is nice and scenic.  There is an accessible slough for those with limited mobility.  The recently reconstructed trail then continues along the river up to the renovated Lake Eva cabin & viewing area.  Bears are often viewable during fish runs and birds & insects also frequent the area.  Users can access many fishing spots via spurs from the main trial.  The reconstructed portion of the trail ends at the cabin near old growth forest.  Beyond the lake, an unmaintained trail continues along the south shore of the lake to the location of an old shelter.
