Route Description for Peden Lake via Mary Vine Trail

The hike to Peden Lake via the Mary Vine Trail is a great way to get your steps in while hiking an undulating forest trail with some beautiful scenery. The trail sets out from the parking area and heads north across the road before entering into the forest cover. From here, you will follow the trail as it runs parallel to the creek and eventually meets up with a junction leading to a viewpoint of the cascading Mary Vine Falls. This small detour is optional, so if you do not want to visit the charming falls, continue along the main trail as it turns to the east. Keep making your way uphill while passing straight through the junctions and you will eventually reach the foot of Lunch Peak on your right. Follow the route as it passes between the hill and the creek on your left and in no time you will arrive at the scenic shores of Peden Lake. Take some time to explore the beautiful lakeside setting before retracing your steps to return to the trailhead.
