Twin Lakes (Wenatchee)

Central Cascades

updated 2 months ago

The Twin Lakes trail is currently obstructed by numerous fallen trees, some requiring detours or scrambling over, under, or around. The trail is reported as snow-free as of July 21, July 11, and June 30, with the road being suitable for all vehicles. While some maintenance has occurred, with major blowdown near the wilderness boundary cleared by July 21, other sections, particularly the second half and areas near the lake, remain overgrown with brush and exhibit signs of being washed out in spots. These obstacles have made the trail a "slog" and potentially unsuitable for smaller hikers, though campers have managed to reach the first lake.
