Low Lake/big Lake Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up
The Low Lake/big Lake trail is 2.3 miles long. The trail is unique in that it traverses both wilderness and non-wilderness areas. It begins at Thorne Arm - Fish Creek Cabin Site and follows the shore of Low Lake, then it parallels Fish Creek for another mile before crossing into designated wilderness.
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
