    Embark on the Mildred Faust, Long Trail and Glacier Lake for an easy hike through pleasant woodlands and unique geological features. This route covers 4.5 miles (7.2 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 240 feet (73 metres), taking approximately 1 hour and 56 minutes to complete. You will discover waterfalls above the Dry Lake and encounter dramatic limestone cliffs, leading you to the remarkable Glacier Lake.

    When planning your visit, you will find ample parking available at Clark Reservation State Park. While the trails are generally well-maintained, be aware that some sections, particularly around Glacier Lake, can be rugged with cobbles and boulders. These areas may also be occasionally flooded, so it is always a good idea to check local conditions before you head out, especially during wet seasons.

    This trail offers more than just a walk; it is an opportunity to explore a true geologic wonder. Glacier Lake itself is a rare meromictic lake, nestled within a deep gorge, making it a unique natural highlight. The varied terrain, including bedrock and glacial cracks, provides insight into the park's fascinating glacial past, setting this route apart in the region.
