I have been to goose lake several times always by ATV. It is 8 miles one way and about 3000 feet of elevation gain. The trail was redone sometime before 2009 and is an easy trail now. Goose lake is worth the trip just for the views. Climb the switchbacks behind the lake (if you are in good shape) and... More

Don't take this trail if you are claustrophobic! The trail can get a bit tight when you meet up with another traveler on a 4-wheeler, multiple person ATV, Jeep or Truck! Beautiful view once your reach the top!

To put it in my wife's words, "this is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to - in my life!" Once up top, take the trail to the right and go up to the point over looking the lake. It's breath taking. Also, look across the lake and you'll see switch back trails used for thousands of... More

Today is July 13, 2009 and we went up today on 4 wheelers. My wife, 17 and 13 year old sons, and I made the trip. We never had a minutes problem and enjoyed to whole trip. The lake is beautiful and we all hiked half way up the mountain behind the lake and threw snow balls. I would HIGHLY... More

I've been up this trail in Jeeps, a full sized Chevy short bed several times, and of course on motorcycles. The trail is a challenge; you should be somewhat experienced before you just head up this trail. What ends up happening is that you meet someone coming the other way. Someone is going to have to back up until the... More

Goose Lake was an amazing experience. I do not recomend taking a full sized vehicle of any kind up the trail. We started the trail in a 99' Dodge Ram, by the time we were back to town we were exhausted. We encountered another crazy man just like ourselves who tried the same thing and ended up having his vehicle... More
