Lower Twin Lake

By Kelsey Samsel | Hiking

Lower Twin Lake is a great destination all year long. In the summer, hike to the lake to swim in the blue-green water and break out your snowshoes in the winter.  

There are also a few campsites to choose from if you want to spend the night. Book your campsite well in advance so you don’t miss out! To get to Lower Twin Lake, park at Frog Lake Sno Park and start at the Frog Lake trailhead.
