A meandering walk, with an elevation gain of only 400 feet, in the shadow of Baring Mountain which towers over 3,700 feet above you. The trail to Barclay Lake is a good choice for hikers of all ages as it won't beat anyone into submission and offers stunning views on nearby ridges and, of course, Barclay Lake. So, take the easy hike through mixed forest along Barclay Creek up to Barclay Lake.  You'll see some  old growth trees as well as trillium, wood violets, bleeding heart, salmonberry, and deer ferns as you travel along trail.

A short distance past the bridge lies Barclay Lake at an elevation of 2,440 feet, with Baring Mountain (elevation 6,125 feet) reaching 3,700' straight up. Picnic here, or follow the north side of the lake to a second picnic spot. The trail is suitable for children.

To get here:

• Highway to mile marker 41 east of Baring
• Turn left on 635th Place NE
• Cross the Railroad tracks and straight onto Forest Service Road 6024
• Continue on FR 6024 to the end and the trailhead
