Yet another popular fishing hole & hike, Boulder Lake trail head is just a half hour drive from McCall. From Elo road it is 3 miles to Boulder Lake Rd and 4 miles to Boulder Meadows Reservoir, where you will find a primitive campground and plenty of parking. The reservoir is pictured below.
The trail starts out fairly level and turns into switchbacks once you pass the reservoir. You gain 700 ft in less than a mile, a good workout for the lungs.
There is a creek crossing, but we when were there end of September the water was so low it was not a problem. Other times you may want to plan for wet feet.
Boulder lake has an eight foot high concrete & rock dam on the south side. I've tried to find some information on the why's and how's behind the dam, but haven't been able to. Drop us an e-mail if you feel like sharing!
