This popular lake can be reached with an easy 2 mile hike where a choice of several well established campsites await you. A great view of Mt Rainier can be had from the west side of the lake. The crystal clear water can make fishing tough; reports of good sized, naturally reproducing Eastern Brook Trout keep anglers coming back to this lake. This lake is located in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
Getting here:
From Ashford on Hwy 706, drive ~2.4m east & turn right on Kernahan/Skate Creek Rd. In ~4.6m turn right on FS#84 and then in another 1.2m take FS#8410 - continue another 3.9m to trailhead #251. note: last portion of the road is badly washed out and negotiable for high clearance 4wd only - most should plan on parking lower down. Hike 1/4 mile to Pothole lake then another mile passing Bertha May Lake to arrive at Granite; 600' gain.
