The Lakes Trail # 211 begins at Coldwater Lake Boat Launch and follows the northwest shore passing through blown down trees, wildflowers, and alder thickets. Deer, elk, and coyotes often use the trail, traveling between feeding grounds. Minnie Peak and its impressive rocky summit frame the valley to the north. Lakes Trail #211 follows the shoreline until reaching the head of Coldwater Lake, 4.5 miles from the trailhead. The junction with Coldwater Trail #230 is 0.5 mile from the head of Coldwater Lake.

Continuing northeast from the junction with Coldwater Trail #230, Lakes Trail #211 enters Boundary Trail #1 (area is unavailable), 3.1 miles from Norway Pass Trailhead.

Access Info

Coldwater Lake Boat Launch or Coldwater Trail #230 via South Coldwater Trail #230A.
