Route Description for Christina Lake Hike
Hiking along Christina Lake is a great experience that will allow you to take in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape and enjoy some truly spectacular views that sweep across the blue waters of the lake. The trail initially begins with a fairly steep section before flattening out on a ridge that runs alongside the lake. The path can be narrow in some places, so watch your footing and remember to wear proper hiking footwear for this lengthy trek through the forest.
Setting out from the Texas Creek Campground, the trail enters the forest and briefly heads east, before turning to the north and following a route that runs parallel to the lake. As mentioned, there is a bit of an initial climb that very quickly levels out as you make your way onto the ridge. From here, follow the trail north and enjoy the intermittent views of the picturesque lake, eventually coming to a nice lookout at the Trapper Creek Campground.
Continue north, as you work your way past Deer and Knob points before arriving at the northernmost part of the lake around Sandner Creek Beach. Take some time to explore the area and gaze out across the charming waters of Christina Lake before heading back along the same route to return to the trailhead.
