Rainbow Lake Wilderness is a quiet and beautiful corner of Prentice Cooper State Forest, perfect if you enjoy moments of solitude in nature. The surrounding trails can be rocky, leading you through dense forest and past a few small streams, with Rainbow Lake itself offering a lovely spot to pause. Trails are lightly marked and can be overgrown, so having your Komoot map downloaded can be helpful.

It's worth taking a blanket and a picnic with you and enjoying the atmosphere for a while.

This trail is less popular than others due to its challenging nature, but the views along the way and at the top make it well worth the effort.
