Trails
BE ADVISED: Multiuse trails are limited to OHV's with a curb weight of up to 1,500 pounds and off-trail travel via OHV is prohibited within the TLAD SUA.
The Tangle Lakes Archaeological District Special Use Area (TLAD SUA) has three multi-use trails and one non-motorized trail:
Old Sevenmile Lake Trail (MP 40):
This 8.5 mile trail extends to the west side of Sevenmile Lake. The trail is very difficult to travel upon due to many mud holes and swampy terrain, however the views of the Maclaren River valley are spectacular.
Old Sevenmile Lake Connector:
This 0.25 mile trail connects Old Sevenmile Lake with the Maclaren Summit Trail on the west side of Sevenmile Lake.
Maclaren Summit Trail (MP 37):
This 9.5 mile trail provides access across the tundra at Maclaren Summit, opening up fantastic views and ending at the west end of Sevenmile Lake.
Sevenmile Lake Trail Connector:
This 3 mile trail connects the Maclaren Summit Trail to the Glacier Gap to Sevenmile Lake Trail. The trail affords sweeping views of the Sevenmile Lake valley as it runs a few hundred feet up from the valley floor along the valley wall.
Glacier Gap Lake to Sevenmile Lake Trail (MP 30.5):
The trail extends 3.5 miles to the southern end of Glacier Gap Lake then continues approximately 5 miles to Sevenmile Lake. The trail crosses a large stream approximately a quarter mile from the trailhead and traverses through the hillsides over rugged terrain affording visitors spectacular views of the landscape and wildlife.
Landmark Gap Trail North (MP 24.6):
This 3 mile trail extends to the south end of Landmark Gap Lake. The trail is rocky and dry with a few marshy spots, all having a solid rocky bottom to facilitate crossing. This trail passes through a highly-sensitive archaeological area.
Rusty Lake Trail (non-motorized):
This .75 mile foot trail provides access to Rusty Lake. This trail is of low to moderate difficulty and has one creek crossing during wet seasons. This trail is currently impassible due to water, a new route is currently being determined. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.
