Frog Lake

The trail head for Frog Lake is about 4 miles down the Mountain Loop Highway heading out of Darrington. It is right before the Clear Creek bridge. The trail starts out climbing up a hill above clear creek. There are nice views of the creek below. It keeps on going and is overgrown in some spots. After a little while it meets with Forest Road 2060 then turns left into a swampy area that is very muddy. There were bobcat and cougar prints in the mud. The trail follows along the road and is very overgrown in some areas. It comes up to a couple of bridges along the way, they were a little old but no big deal. Later the trail meets up with a road that leads to Frog lake.

On the road heading towards Frog Lake there were many tiny frogs jumping everywhere. Once at the lake there are a lot of tiny frogs on the shore and in the water. There are a lot of bugs including dragonflies at the shore of the lake. The lake is nice and scenic even though there is some noticeable litter in the lake, including a tire and some beer cans yikes! The trail is a short hike and overall easy. There was no one else I noticed on the trail.
