Lindsey Lakes Trail
Grouse Lakes Area


Mileage: 3 1/2 miles one way
Elevation: 6160 to 6400 feet
Difficulty: More Difficult
Use Level: Medium
Topographic Map: English Mtn., Granitville

Access: This trail can be accessed at its west end by taking Bowman Road north from Highway 20. Then turn east at the Lindsey Lake, Feely Lake, Carr Lake sign. Follow the signs to Lindsey Lake and park. At its eastern end the Lindsey Lakes Trail bisects the Grouse Ridge Trail.

Trail Description: At Lower Lindsey Lake a gate controls vehicle access to Culbertson Lake and beyond. One may hike to any of the three Lindsey Lakes or to Culbertson Lake by following the road. Fishing at any of these lakes is fair to good, however, it is generally agreed that Culbertson Lake provides the best fishing.

From Culbertson Lake, follow the trail to the Rock Lakes. Bullpen Lake, to the west, is one of the few lakes in California which is stocked with Arctic greyling. Heavy stands of timber surround the Rock Lakes. The trail continues east to a point where it joins the Grouse Ridge Trail.
