“A nice singletrack along the west side of Long Lake connecting Silver Lake Trail (12E31) to Mt. Elwell.”

— Joel Wilson
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Description

This singletrack connects Silver Lake Trail with Mt. Elwell. From the Silver Lake Trail (12E31), take a right and head northwest along the west side of Long Lake. You'll drop down through a fun section of trail before reaching Mud Lake on the right.

Just after Mud Lake, you'll come to a junction for the Mud Lake Spur (11E14A). Taking a right will give you access to Long Lake. Left will continue on Mud Lake Trail (11E14) with a climb up to the Mt. Elwell Trail.

From here, you can also access the Long Lake Trail by taking a right on Mt. Elwell quickly followed by another right on the Long Lake Trail.
