Description
This is a short hike of approximately 2 miles round trip. It has little elevation gain and makes an ideal hike for most ages and abilities. To reach the trailhead, drive out Lick Creek Road past Slick Rock and up to Lick Creek Summit. Approximately one and half miles beyond the summit is the trailhead sign and a parking area with hitching rails and unloading ramp. The trail is well marked and easy to follow. You will need to make two stream crossings either hopping from log to rock or by wading. Duck Lake sits in a wooded area with a meadow at the upper end and several campsites at the lower end. Other longer hiking trails lead off from here. Trail 085 goes north from the lake and meets up with the Twenty Mile Trail which then leads back to Warren Wagon Road. This is another mountain bike trip that is very popular. The trail starts at an elevation of 6400' climbs to 7000' and ends up at about 6000'. Duck Lake is at an elevation of 6840'. The area burned and is revegetating after the 1994 Blackwell Fire. (Trail Difficulty - Easy)
