With options to climb higher to Upper Lena Lake, this is an enjoyable day hike with gentle switchbacks to the beautiful Lena Lake. The lake is surrounded by huge old-growth fir trees and there are nice campsites along the shore.

If you like to spend the night at the lake shore you need to obtain a Wilderness Camping Permits that is available 6 months prior to your trip. Visit recreation.gov/permits/4098362 to reserve a permit. Lena Lake is a quota area, so camping is limited.
