    Hiking

    Both the North and South Tamarack Lakes are beautiful and pristine lakes with the Pacific Crest Trail weaving right through them. The biggest difference between the two lakes is that South Tamarack Lake has better access points if you want to take a dip.
    The two Tamarack lakes are directly along g the Pacific Crest Trail. Both lake are lovely, the southern lake is slightly larger and has nice access points
