Battle Ground Lake
About This Trail
The lower trail starts off lakeside by the boat launch. You can go either direction. The lower trail stays close to the water and is a bit more rugged. It is very scenic but can get a bit muddy.
The upper trail begins before the boat launch, stays a bit farther away and has a generally smoother terrain. It leads you through the forest with glimpses of the lake.
The lake was formed in a volcanic crater. The depth is unknown.

Being outside is how I re-charge. It gives me perspective, fills me with gratitude and provides an opportunity to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life. I am fortunate to share this passion with my amazing husband and our son. I was born and raised in the PNW but I love exploring any area I can get to. One of my favorite things about Hike it Baby is that I have a built in community of friends to provide trail suggestions anywhere we go.

After about 1.5 miles the road turns left, crosses the railroad tracks and you come to an intersection – go straight to enter the park.
