Nice wide and well maintained trail. $5 fee, there is a restroom at the trailhead. There are two separate lakes I noticed only a few hundred yards apart. They had a few campsites at at each lake as well which could be fun for a night or two. The trail follows the river most of the time so you get that nice relaxing sound as you hike through the woods.

Went on this trail yesterday and it was definitely an enjoyable hike. Parking is payed, but only $5, and there is a picnic table and restroom at the parking lot. Its a 2 mile hike to Greenwater lake, lots of uphill hiking on the way, but its not too bad. We turned around at the Horse Ford just passed the lake but I read elsewhere the entire trail is 11 miles RT. Very pretty scenery (great for photographers!) along the trail, the lake is beautiful and the drive there is scenic too.

Drive past Greenwater on hwy 410, then north on Forest Service Road 70, turnoff is on the right. spacious parking. Start of trail is easy, then moderate climb next to Greenwater River to the lakes. Boardwalk next to lake in need of repair. Lake is beautifull. Trail above the lake to Lost Lake and Echo Lake becomes much narrow and steeper.

Great little trail to take the young or elderly. Most the trail is funneled through huge tree that obscure alot of scenic views that you might be expecting, so if you seek the wide panoramic views, this is not the trail for you. The lake is more like a depression that has been flooded alongside of the river and has 2-3 good camp spots that about 2 miles back from the trail head. Overall the trail was nice to do.....once!
