Annette Lake
Snoqualmie Region
Annette Lake is currently in excellent condition with no snow or significant obstacles reported. The trail is well-maintained, featuring numerous newly constructed stairs from mile 1.0 to 1.6. Road access is good, though a noticeable drop-off exists where the pavement ends, requiring slow driving. Parking is generally plentiful, with reports from late July indicating availability even on weekends, though overflow parking along the road has been used. Hikers note the lake is pleasant for swimming and free of bugs. Berry foraging is possible in some sections. The trail offers good shade for most of its length.
