Location Information
The Calamut Lake Trail slowly climbs through a mixed stand of lodgepole pine, mountain hemlock, and true fir. Lake Charline is located midway along the route. As the trail emerges on the south end of Calamut Lake it joins with a footpath around the lake. All three lakes provide excellent breeding grounds for mosquitoes. During very early spring, just after ice-out or late summer-early fall are the best times to visit. Campsites are offered at Lake Linda and Calamut Lake. Lake Linda is located at the trailhead.
