Fishtrap Lake - North and South Loop — Sunday, May. 24, 2020

Eastern Washington > Spokane Area/Coeur d'Alene
Fishtrap Lake on the way back

We made a loop by first taking the left double-track at the first junction, then following the single-track closer to the lake after the second junction. At the kolk (about two miles), we took a connecting trail, then headed back on the double-track trail which also parallels the lake. Then, we headed left on the single track when it crossed the double-track (the second junction on the way out), making a sort of figure-eight loop. This made a nice loop with great views.

Notable birds we saw included Bald Eagle, Black-headed Grosbeak, Bullock’s Oriole, Rock Wren, large flock of Violet-green and Cliff Swallows, Lazuli Bunting, Eastern and Western Kingbirds, and Western Bluebirds.
