It’s especially popular in late spring and early summer because the trail melts out earlier than many higher-elevation hikes in Washington.\nFrom the trailhead on Forest Road 1260, start on the Packwood Lake Trail (#78) and follow the gentle path as it winds 4 miles through forest within the Goat Rocks Wilderness.\nThe main route is about 10 miles round trip with roughly 1,200 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderate and family-friendly hike suitable for day hikers and backpackers alike. The trail gradually climbs through evergreen forest with occasional glimpses of Mount Rainier before opening near the lake to views of Johnson Peak reflected in calm water.\nAlong the way, hikers pass wildflowers, wildlife, and a historic ranger station. The trail is popular for hiking, camping, fishing, and relaxing by the water, and it connects to longer routes toward Mosquito Lake and Lost Lake.\nNorthwest Forest Pass required for parking.\n\n\nApproximate Mileage\n10\n\n\nElevation Gain\n1,200 feet\n\n\nDeparture Time\n7:30 AM\n\n\nSign up by\nJune 1, 2026\n\n\n\nEach participant is responsible for their own safety and being prepared. PLANNING ( https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1207/plan-like-a-park-ranger.htm ) and preparation start with the 10 ESSENTIALS ( #ten-essentials-popup ) and staying up-to-date on road and trail conditions, permit requirements, party size limits, snowpack, wildfires, and weather.  Visit the ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION PAGE ( #activity-classification-popup )  for detailed information on difficulty rating for I-MAC trip so you can sign up for activities that best match your fitness and comfort levels.\nVisit TRIP COSTS & PASSES ( #trip-costs-passes-popup ) for detailed information about trip costs.\nTo help protect and care for these special places that we enjoy exploring, I-MAC members always practice LEAVE NO TRACE ( https://lnt.org/ ) and follow the 7 PRINCIPLES OF LEAVE NO TRACE ( https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/ ). Ask your trip leader if you have questions about Leave No Trace or suggestions for helping to reduce our footprint.\n
