The trail description has an error. As indicated on the map, the less traveled upper trail is on the SOUTH side of the lake, not the north. Edits below.
take a turn off the beaten path to rise above the north south side of the lake on a less-trodden upper trail.
Start your trip from any of several parking lots off of Samish Way. Then work your way around the lake on a 2.6 mile smooth gravel loop path close to the lakeside. Keep an eye out for mallard ducks, American coots, cormorants, buffleheads, and other waterfowl on the lake. Around the north south side of the lake, take a turn up into the hills above the lake to avoid the crowds.
