High Lakes Trail No. 6200
Parking place for High Lakes Trail
This past week we went on a little family outing to the east of Ashland. We have done the trail from Lake of the Woods to Fish Lake before, but this was the first time we all made it for the entire round trip.
To avoid paying the $7 day-use fee by parking at one of the lakes, we parked at the sign pictured above which is approximately where the A is on the map below.

At this point we made a mistake and went to the right since the sign says Fish Lake is to the right. This does not put you on the High Lakes Trail (which is what you want if you are hiking or biking). Instead, it puts you on the Resort Trail which looks like an old car trail. The Resort Trail is anything but resort-like, and it eventually disappears, but not before you have to carry your bike over lots of fallen trees and ride over other rather difficult terrain. To avoid this pitfall, keep going down the road (to the left toward Brown Mountain Trail) in the top photo a bit (maybe 20 yards) and then hang a right on High Lakes Trail.
More photos and info to come in the next week…

Another photo from the archives today… This one is from June of 2009. I took this picture (with my LX3) just before taking the one featured here.

Lake of the Woods Fireworks
Every July 3rd there is a fireworks display at Lake of the Woods to the east of Ashland. This photograph is from a couple of years ago. I have very fond memories of this evening.
Reflections near Lake of the Woods
For Father’s Day we rode bikes from Lake of the Woods to Fish Lake. The weather wasn’t great and the kids weren’t up for all 15+ miles so I rode back from Fish Lake to Lake of the Woods by myself to get the car. Near the car was this scene. This is actually across the rode (near Aspen Point) from Lake of the Woods. It isn’t a year-round lake at all I imagine–just a swamp of sorts that happened to look pretty good on this day.
Cracking Ice
I walked out onto Lake of the Woods in several places, but this was one part of the lake that I stayed on the frozen shore.
