Drive approximately 27 miles up the Goose Lake/Hazard Lake Road to reach Big Hazard Lake trailhead. This is the largest of the three Hazard Lakes. It is about a 1/2 mile walk through burned and downed timber to reach the lake. The Hazard Fire of 1989 and the Corral Fire of 1994 opened the forest up, and the walk is flat and suitable for most people. The lake itself comes right up to the edge of the forest and there is very little "beach" area. But it is a beautiful, serene lake and it is not uncommon to see people carrying float tubes, canoes or inflatable rafts into the lake to take advantage of the good fishing and quiet beauty.
