Cody Lake Access

Cody Lake Access is a short, easy 1-mile hiking trail located near Strawberry off Highway 50 in El Dorado County, accessed via Packsaddle Pass Road.

The trail provides access to a scenic alpine lake at 7,360 feet elevation with outstanding views of Pyramid Peak and offers swimming and fishing opportunities, though the lakeshore access is steep and there is limited lounging space.

A Boy Scout facility (Camp Cody) is located at the lake, and the area is best visited from March through October.
