Route Description for South Fork Lakes Trail
From the entry gate to South Fork Lakes Trail, follow signs that lead to the West Castle River. There is a very clear trail marker on the other side of the river where you need to cross. The water should be calm and easy to navigate. Follow the trail through the forest and soon begin gaining elevation. The West Castle Valley will come into view, making the climb worth the effort. The trail will level out to reach Barnaby Lake before continuing to South Fork Lakes. Continue up the trail following the shoulder of South Fork Mountain before reaching the two South Fork Lakes.
