With the trailhead starting at just under 7400 feet, the Swamp Lake Trail has some of the best scenery the Sierra National Forest has to offer. From gravel, dirt, silt, boulders, granite faces, steep climbs and descents, this trail will throw everything at you within the first couple of miles. In the middle of the trail is Swamp Lake. This large, clear lake offers camping and fishing at its finest. Even during holiday weekends, the remote location ensures that the number of campers is minimal. If you are looking for some challenging off-roading and some quiet down time, Swamp Lake should be at the top of your To-Do-List. This could possibly be the most fun trail you ever do.
