This trail takes you along the beach of Mendenhall Lake — it's mostly level but not paved. The trail can be a little rocky sometimes, and may even wash out or flood in places, although you're never very far from the main (paved) trail.

You can catch glimpses of Mendenhall Glacier at the far end of the lake, and you might see kayakers in the water, too — either locals, or visitors on an expedition with any of several local guide services.

For the way back from the Nugget Falls you should take the path across the beach. It may not be well signposted, but if you're instinctive, you can not get lost. In between, you can also go to the lake and enjoy the beauty. Also balancing on stones in a riverbed is one of the highlights of this path.

It is the glacier lake of the Mendenhall Glacier and invigorates for kayak tours. There are icebergs floating in and around the lake.
