Tangle Blue Lake Access

Tangle Blue Lake Access serves as the trailhead for a moderate 6-mile round-trip hike to Tangle Blue Lake in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, featuring a dirt road that requires vehicles with decent ground clearance.

The access point includes parking for approximately 10+ vehicles and marks the beginning of an old logging road that transitions to single-track trail, following Tangle Blue Creek throughout the journey.

This is a popular gateway for backpackers and day hikers seeking alpine lake access with established campsites and fishing opportunities.
