The first part of the trail follows the old jeep trail that provides access to the Copper Glance mining claimants. At 1.5 miles the jeep trail ends and Copper Glance Trail begins. The trail is steep and rocky in places and several streams must be forded. Not recommended for stock as an old bridge collapsed and there is not a good crossing for stock. Hikers need to use caution when crossing during high water. Reach the lake in just over 3 miles. Limited parking space at trailhead. source: fs.usda.gov
From Winthrop drive north on Okanogan County Road 1213 to Eightmile Ranch. Take a left onto Forest Service Road 5130 (Eightmile Creek Road) and drive 13 miles to the signed trailhead.
