This beautiful lake is a popular overnight destination in the Enchantments Permit Area. You'll need to reserve an overnight permit prior to heading out (see US Forest Service website for details), or you can visit the lake as a day hike. With views of Mt Stuart and the East and South Ingalls Peak, this is a wonderful destination in the popular Enchantments. Colchuck Lake, which is also accessible from this trailhead, is a popular choice with the crowds, but I would argue that Lake Stuart is an equally enchanting destination. You'll find two backcountry toilets off the trail near the lake.

The Enchantments Core Zone may be one of the most popular destinations in Washington state, but those who venture to Lake Stuart may receive the particularly enchanting reward of relative solitude in a highly trafficked area. Most hikers heading into the Enchantments use the Lake Stuart Trailhead, but make it into the Core Zone via Colchuck Lake and Aasgard Pass. However, taking the right trail 2.2 miles from the trailhead will lead you into an adjacent valley with a large, shallow lake at the base of the imposing massif of Mount Stuart.
