From Sandy, Travel east on Highway 26 to Frog Lake Sno-Park (4.5 miles southeast of its junction with Highway 35). Walk north on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail for approximately 100 yards to the trailhead sign. A more common way of accessing the trail is to drive or walk south of the Sno-Park on Road 2610 to Frog Lake Campground. A trailhead sign is along 2610 east of the campground.
Location Information
Frog Lake Trail begins at the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail near Frog Lake Sno-Park or at the Frog Lake Campground. The trail from the Sno-Park to the campground is flat and the tread is wide as the trail follows an old 2-track road for nearly half the distance. Some parts of the next segment are difficult to follow due to tread destruction and user trails in the campground area, however, a trail sign along Road 2610 near the campground marks the path of the trail. Upon leaving the campground, the trail immediately begins a climb with grades from 10-30% nonstop to its junction with Frog Lake Butte Trail #484. The tread here is narrow (8') with exposed roots and embedded or loose rock. Visitors can make a loop hike by taking Frog Lake Butte trail north to Twin Lakes and the Pacific Crest trail south to Frog Lake. (No bikes are allowed on the Pacific Crest Trail).
