Perseverance Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up
The Perseverance Trail is 2.4 miles long. The first 1/2 mile winds gently and is composed of both natural tread and boardwalk. Rain, snow and ice make the wooden boards extremely slippery; take caution when hiking under those conditions. The trail ends at Perseverance Lake, which offers trout fishing and photographic opportunities. The trail also provides access to the Minerva Mountain Trail approximately 2 ¼ miles from the trailhead.
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.
