The Swauger Lake trail splits off of the Dry Creek Trail and climbs steeply along a ridge to the lake basin where Swauger Lakes lie. From the ridgeline you get spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, and it is common to spot beaver and elk in the basin.

The Forest Service recently rerouted the bottom and fall line portions of the trail to avoid wet areas, so the new path may not match exactly with the digital route.
