Features Birding · Lake · Swimming · Wildflowers

The Taylor Lake Trail is an easy 0.5-mile hike to Taylor Lake, making Taylor Lake the most accessible lake in Russian Wilderness. The trail continues around the northeast side of the lake and offers a steep alternative route to reach the Pacific Crest Trail, which is especially useful as a work-around when the snowbank on the PCT northwest of Smith Lake has not yet melted and hikers need to get to the other side of the PCT.
