Poia Lake Trail Description
Poia Lake Trail is full of beautiful scenery that follows you throughout the whole trail. Starting at the Apikuni Trailhead, follow the path through meadows of aspen trees and begin climbing up ridges. The forest turns to pine trees, and you will come across a small lake. Continue on, and following the Kennedy Creek drainage, walk down the steep trail to get to Poia Lake. This lake has a pebble beach where you can enjoy lunch and a swim in the summer months. This is an out-and-back trail, so when you are ready, head back the way you came.
