Echo Lake, located in the Norse Peak Wilderness area, is a popular starting point for longer overnight excursions but it's also a great destination for day hikes or rides.

The trail begins in an old growth forest area and meanders along the Greenwater River with several river crossings before reaching the Norse Peak Wilderness boundary.  Between 1.5 and 2.2 miles you’ll find the upper and lower Greenwater Lakes (also known as the Meeker Lakes). Shortly after after entering the Norse Peak Wilderness the Lost Lake trail (#1185) will be on your right and head uphill. Stay to the left and downhill for Echo Lake. About 5.5 miles into the trip you’ll see the Maggie Creek Trail (#1186) which connects to the Pacific Crest Trail (#2000).

Most camping areas are at the south end of Echo Lake.
