The hike was beautiful and not too crowded for a weekend morning. The trail was clear and in excellent condition.

Day hiked to Lena Lake on a busy Sunday afternoon.

Road: The road is fully paved to the parking lot and accessible by any vehicle. There are two large potholes (one eastbound, one westbound). Someone outlined these with orange spray paint, and they are avoidable.

Parking lot: The large parking lot was full by noon, and multiple cars were parallel parked along the road. There are two bathrooms. 

Trail: The trail is wide, smooth, and gently graded up a series of switchbacks to the lake. There are a mix of backpackers and day hikers. It is family friendly, and there were many young children and even more dogs on the trail. The forest has gorgeous views, and there are glacial erratics. Some wildflowers are blooming. Berries aren't yet in season.

Definitely get there by 10 am to get a decent parking spot. Trail was clear and well maintained.

Trail was in good condition. Glad we hiked up early Friday to get a camp site. By afternoon it was packed.

Beautiful day for a hike. 68 degrees, saw about 10 hikers on trail. Trail was not too wet or dry, perfect for hiking. Flowers are out all over. Took about 1:15 in to Table Rock (lunch rock or whatever it’s called) and about an hour back out. No fallen tree obstructions. Love this hike.
