Swan Lake-Heron Pond Loop
The trailhead is located 300 feet south of the Colter Bay
Ranger Station. Park in front of the ranger station or
near the trailhead on the road.
Easy, 3 miles roundtrip, elevation change: 40'. The trail
crosses an unplowed parking area, then passes the Hermitage
Point Trailhead. Continue to the right of the trailhead
sign and follow an old road for the first 0.4 mile. The
trail then forks to either Swan Lake or Heron Pond. Ski
2.2 miles in either direction on the loop trail to return
to this junction. Skiing on the ponds is not recommended.
Beyond Heron Pond unflagged trails lead to Hermitage
Point; this loop adds 5.8 mi. (60' elevation) to the
trip. |
