Lake Chelan State Park - Little Bear Trail — Sunday, Jun. 11, 2017

This trail isn’t exactly secluded. The trail head is located in the middle of a camp ground. It can be accessed by turning right as you go into the main entrance then you drive past several campsites and the trailhead marker is next to the bathrooms. That being said, there were relatively few people on the trail when we went late morning. As you begin the trail you walk through a wooded area but you can still hear the campground. There are two loops, which are clearly labeled, accessible at the junction. We chose to do both by going left through the bitterbrush grassland and returning on the forest loop. It was the perfect time of year to walk through the grassland, the wildflowers were still enthusiastically blooming and the views of Lake Chelan are very nice. After a ways you lose the campground noise but you still hear/see cars and motorboats.  Both loops of the trail were very easy to do and would be perfect for children or dogs.
