HYAK LAKE TRAIL. The trail starts behind the left side of Silver Firs Lodge (green dumpster) and twists up immediately into the forest. Shortly join a ski trail. Go left past a snow covered bridge (watch out for the downhill/cross country & boarders traffic) until the junction with the designating yellow symbol [only for snowshoeing]. It starts gradually steep with 680-ft elev. gain on mostly packed trail in-and-out of the treeline. Trail recrosses the ski trail and continues up to the lake loop area. Be careful not to venture into directions where there are no snowshoe tracks. Easy to sink a few feet deep, also quite difficult to pull back out. Lake level is a vast open view area good place to rest.
