Doubtful Lake Falls

RATING - 40.0

Doubtful Lake is a large, beautiful lake nestled into a cirque on the south side of Sahale Mountain. Several streams drop down the massive cliffs, filling the lake. Doubtful Lake Falls occurs on the largest of these streams, horsetailing down around 500' into the lake. The lake and falls can be viewed from high above on the Sahale Arm Trail. In addition a trail leads down to the lake itself and presumably better views of the falls. I'll let you know for sure whenever I get around to visiting the lake.

DIRECTIONS - From the end of the Cascade River Road, hike up the Cascade Pass Trail. In 3.7 miles you will reach the pass. Just after "the patio" take a left onto the Sahale Arm Trail. The trail climbs steeply for about 3/4 of a mile and then flattens out. The lake can be seen below at this point. The Doubtful Lake Trail branches off at this point as well.
