Potato Lake Trail

The trail leading to Potato Lake (commonly called Spud Lake) is as friendly and fringed with interesting diversions as the sparkling destination itself—which can serve as a lunch site, a fishing spot, or an ideal overnight campsite. Recently regraded and rerouted, this popular trail is now easy enough for beginning hikers.
