The Blue Lake National Recreation Trail is 1.5 miles long, beginning at the Blue Lake Campground, the trail continues around the west side of the lake to the boat ramp. At least 90 percent of the trail is shaded by picturesque white fir and massive ponderosa pine trees. Deer tracks on the trail often outnumber hikers' tracks. Tree squirrels, ducks, geese, loons, and hawks are frequently seen by hikers while walking the trail. The Blue Lake National Recreation Trail is closed to all motorized vehicles

Blue Lake is Amazing!!
This is one of the better lakes to visit in Northern California! Most of the trail is paved making it very easy to follow, and it does not change elevation drastically. 10/10 would recommend to others.
