Snoqualmie Lake, Big Creek Falls, Lake Dorothy - Lake Bear - Lake Deer & Taylor River - Otter Falls — Saturday, Jun. 7, 2025

Today I did a 20 mile hike to Deer and Bear Lake via Snoqualmie Lake and Otter, Big Creek falls.

at 7:45, the parking lot was almost full. The toilet at TH is very clean and stocked with TP.

The road from the Middle fork campground to the TH is rough, full of potholes but passable in any car.

The first half of the trail is flat till the fork of Nordrum and Snoqualmie Lake. 1 tricky water crossing.

Real fun begins after that, there are a lot of fallen trees to the Snoqualmie Lake and Bear Lake.
Couple of tricky water crossings. The trail is a little muddy and buggy, especially near the Lakes.

The Lakes weren't crowded at all, most crowd were to the Otter Falls.

Overall, It was a nice, long and tough hike! 🥵

19.61 miles/ 2933 ft of gain/ Took 8 hours 8 minutes.
