Packsaddle Lake via Packsaddle Lake Parking Lot

EASY - Bring your swimming suit and cool off after a morning of riding the trails in the Big Holes.  Park in the parking lot above the lake and take the short hike down.  Enjoy the scenery and cool water.  This is a great spot to have lunch.  Great easy ride for beginners or if you just want to enjoy cruising. NOTE - This is not the same as taking the trail directly to Packsaddle Lake. That trail is not easy!

Packsaddle Lake via trail to lake side

If you’re not wanting to take the short hike to the lake you can ride directly to it. This trail is not for the faint of heart. It’s not super technical but there are a few corners and hills that will require some skill to navigate. This is definitely a moderate to hard trail.

Directions - From Packsaddle Rd take trail 508 to trail 212. 212 ends at the lake. See the map below.
