| no partners | | This hike to Grass Lake follows an easy to follow, well worn, trail which starts at the bridge over the North Fork Bishop Creek on the North Lake Road. This trail head is unmarked for some reason. The trail starts out following the creek upstream on the East bank but soon leaves the creek before reaching its intersection with Lamarck Creek to start switch-backing up the hillside towards the lake. About halfway to the lake, it starts to follow Lamarck Creek all the way to where it flows out of Grass Lake. As the trail approaches the lake there is a crossing of small logs and assorted tree limbs over Lamark Creek allowing a dry crossing to the north bank of the lake. From there the trail follows the north bank of the lake. Then, on the lakes northwest side the trail goes up the hillside to connect with the Lamarck Lake Trail.
I was so busy trying to find the best view for taking photos of the lake's basin that I completely missed this crossing and followed the fork in the trail which goes around the south shore of the lake and then follows an un-named stream which flows into the lake on its south side. I'm not sure where that trail goes but it appears to be frequently used. I left that trail and bushwhacked my way around the west side of the lake to get back on the Grass Lake Trail. Despite getting temporarily lost, this was a pleasant hike to a beautiful little lake. |
