The Wabasso Lake trail travels through the forest to a marshy lake that feels quite secluded. It has rolling terrain that isn’t ever strenuous or difficult, which makes this perfect for families. Hike along the clear path from the trailhead through the forest. This trail is very easy to follow. After about 1.1mi, you will reach a marshy area, where you might spot some beaver dams. Make your way to the lake and enjoy the solitude before turning back. This trail continues on as a backpacking route to join the famed Skyline trail at Curator Lake.
