Baker Lake - Maple Grove — Sunday, Mar. 1, 2026

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area
You can see remnants of the bridge at Anderson

An update; yes, you could call this the Trail of Broken Brides on Baker Lake, at least from the south trailhead.

The most involved creek crossing is Anderson Creek. The bridge is obliterated. I looked up and down the stream for a dry crossing, but with the slippery rocks, decided there wasn't a safe dry crossing, so I just found a spot where there was shallow water and crossed wearing and soaking my shoes; figured what's the point of stopping a hike just because your feet got wet? I wear fast-drying trailrunners and wool socks. My feet are fine.

Bridge about half a mile before Anderson; don't work your way up the big log, just cross right beneath the bride, on the uphill side.
