Snag Lake Access is located at Juniper Lake's north shore in Lassen Volcanic National Park, accessible via a rough dirt road (unsuitable for trailers) about 13. 4 miles from Highway 36.

The trailhead features a large parking lot and serves as the starting point for backpacking trips to Snag Lake, Widow Lake, and Jakey Lake, with a moderate 17-mile round-trip route through volcanic landscapes.

A wilderness permit is required for overnight camping, and the area is typically accessible from late June through mid-October; note that dogs are prohibited and mosquitoes can be abundant.
