Marigold Lake

This should probably be called a pond rather than a lake. It’s a very minor body of water and can be difficult to find without the assistance of GPS. Go here only if you’re a compulsive lake bagger.

Route DescriptionFollow the directions to Lake Helene, but stay on the trail toward Odessa Lake rather than leaving the trail to go to Lake Helene. About four tenths of a mile (0.6 km), the trail passes through a large talus field. Leave the trail here and continue slightly east of due north for about three tenths of a mile (0.5 km) to Marigold Lake.
