March 28, 2021This trial is now not passable with a reg 4X4 from the Benbow trail head.
October 8, 2020Beautiful hike! The canoe is definitely an added bonus. Saw many signs of bears, so be on the look out.
September 27, 2020Fall colors are in full bloom. Gorgeous walk!
September 10, 2020June 22, 2020spent all day on the SxS one half of the mountain has tons of trails(the sude closest to the mine) all pretty smooth great views went to crome lake on benbow the walk to the lake is a flat easy hike and takes about 5 minutes. Next time I will avoid benbkw jeep trail huge boulders and really rough and rocky ride on that half of the mountain
May 3, 2020The trail was great and the lake was pretty cool! Fishing was decent and the canoe was awesome. As of 5-3-20 don’t follow the recording instead you will see a sign marking the trail to the lake. Also as of 5-3-20 the title image on AllTrails is from the wrong Island Lake so do not be fooled!
September 1, 2018Did the whole Jeep trail it was awesome Started at the base and exited on to the fire roads.
September 5, 2017This Island Lake Trail depicted is on private land and should not be in this app. The lake itself is not on private land, but right on the border between the ranch and USFS. There is another route from the northwest, available on topo maps, all on public land and you will be legal.
July 3, 2017I loved the views! Saw lots of wildflowers and an elk, the road up is rough definitely a jeep, truck of off-road vehicle needed to get the the trail head. Once you're there the hike is easy! Great fishing too, there's a little canoe that stays at the lake
October 9, 2016great run for new people's to hobby of off road,can be done in most stock 4x4 rigs
June 17, 2016Absolutely beautiful! Some parts are pretty intense but totally worth it.
August 31, 2015Nice hike with good fishing. Option to continue along trail to Silver Lake or bush-wack along Huckleberry Creek to Huckleberry, Princes, or Avalanche Lake (none for faint of heart). Have gotten to lake on snowshoes but would not recommend to beginners.
August 21, 2015Beautiful!! Trail terrain is constantly changing and keeping you guessing whats coming up next.
March 16, 2014Pretty fun trail. Lots of site seeing
