Petgill Lake Trail
A scenic journey to Petgill Lake
Discover a gradual ascent connecting the southeast side of Shannon Basin Loop to the tranquil Petgill Lake, nestled on the far west side of Goat Ridge. Reaching Petgill lake requires fording Gonzales creek. Use caution in high flow conditions. A loop trail around the lake allows you to discover the lake and its old growth forest from different vantage points.
