Iron Creek Trail

Iron Creek Trail is an easy to moderate trail with plenty of vegetation along Iron Creek, which generally has running water year-round. The hike follows the creek for most of its length at approximately 2.5 miles. Imposing cliffs look down on you from above, while giant boulders litter the creek below. At the end of the trail is Iron Creek Lake, a great place to swim, fish, rent a kayak or canoe, or simply relax. Or if you want a longer hike, add a mile by going around the lake. Heading eastward on the way back, be on the lookout for Iron Creek Arch, a natural rock formation that can only be seen on the return trip. Bring plenty of water, snacks and sunscreen. Dogs are allowed at Iron Creek Lake, but they must stay on a leash and off the swimming beach.
