Snoqualmie Lake, Taylor River - Otter Falls — Thursday, Apr. 24, 2025

A quick overnight trip to Snoqualmie Lake. The road is quite pot holey after the bridge but should be fine for any vehicle as long as low clearance cars go slow. As stated in the previous report from a couple of days ago, there's no snow until 1/4 mile from the lake & a dozen or so blow downs, which are all easy to deal with. Lots of post holing when we arrived at the lake around 3pm. It was solid on the way out in the morning. The snow is intermittent until you get to the lake proper. We didnt use spikes but I guess you could if you want to keep taking them on & off. There are two snow free campsites. One camp is right above the outlet stream as you get to the lake. The other is right on the lake. We got all of our drinking water from the outlet stream. The lake is 90% frozen. There is lots & lots of water from all of the seasonal streams along the trail for drinking.
