Baker Lake Trail
The first 0.5 km of the trail follows an unused road through an area that was recently loggedand now is growing a new crop of trees. From here, this moderate trail to Baker Lake follows a creek through subalpine forests, past berry patches, across talus slopes and along flower strew bog meadows. Remnants of an old camp, complete with a stone oven can be found on the edge of the meadow. Wildlife sightings are common. The serene beauty of Baker Lake, at the foot of Akokli Mountain, can be enjoyedfrom the primitive lakeshore campsite. The campsite clearing is also a good place to fish from. Experienced route finders can hike onto the eastern ridge of Akokli Mountain. The Baker Lake trail connects to the Lockhart Creek trail, on the west side of the creek valley.
