Enjoy the calm waters of Woodpecker Lake from a little lookout located along West Broomfield Trail. Unfortunately the lake is not accessible to the public so you're unable to swim or partake in watersports here, but you can still admire its serenity from the sideline.

Hiking

Gorgeous hike this time of year. The huckleberry leaves painted the trail with the reds and yellows of autumn. Though much of the trek in is in the burn scar, it DOES reveal sooo much more for landscape scale views of the Forest land that otherwise would be blocked by the closed canopy of dense trees. Trail is mellow for steepness, some rocky and muddy sections, but overall in great condition. Magical views of Jeff from the meadow.
