Wallace Falls - Lake Loop — Saturday, May. 17, 2025

Saturday was a rainy day—perfect for Wallace Falls, where the waterfalls are the main draw rather than distant views. We hiked the main Wallace Falls trail and continued beyond the upper falls, following the gray diamond markers.

Once we hit the DNR logging roads, we were exposed to the full force of the downpour. We were soaked on the trail to Wallace Lake and back, but the experience was memorable. The lake, shrouded in fog in rain, had a surreal, almost haunting beauty, though visibility was very limited.

The descent was slushy and wet but still enjoyable. Overall, the trail was in good shape. I recommend bringing a GPS or map—some of the upper intersections can be confusing.
