Type of Hike
Day hike
The hike to Squaw Lake is fairly easy, if almost entirely uphill. The final half mile is flat. For most of the trip, you are in a forest with few opportunities to see any views of the surrounding mountains. Once you reach the top of the hill, the vistas open and the lake itself is beautiful. This is a relatively easy hike and was chosen because my wife was recovering from a sprained ankle at the time of the hike. She had no problems. The major issue is the road from the end of the tarmac to the trail head. It is in horrible condition. Be prepared for eleven miles of teeth rattling ruts and potholes.
