Rainy Lake Trail
Rainy Lake
A paved, wheelchair-accessible path from Rainy Pass that reaches a high alpine lake ringed by waterfalls in about 1.6 km on level ground. Suitable for everyone.
The Rainy Lake Trail shares its parking lot at Rainy Pass with the Maple Pass Loop. It is a paved, flat path of about 1.6 km that can be used by wheelchairs and strollers. It runs through subalpine forest to Rainy Lake, where cirque cliffs and waterfalls cascading down from the glaciers line the far shore. The round trip takes about 1 hour. It's a good stop for visitors who don't plan to hike long distances while driving Highway 20 through the pass.
