Description
Upper Green River Lake North is found at an obvious, but unmarked trail junction at its trail start shown here, and on a more obscure path along the Green River at its trail end.
To run Upper Green River Lake North from its trail start, go south off the main trail -
Highline #7094/CDT. From here, Upper Green River Lake North skirts a small, pretty meadow along the edge of the pine forest, with views of the lake. Very soon the trail reaches the lakeshore with its forested shoreline and the meadow is left behind. Traveling along the shoreline, at the 0.3 mile mark, a small open area with a nice beach is reached.
The trail then veers right/north at this beach to leave the lake's shore and follow the lake's outlet - the Green River. As the trail runs north along the Green River, the going gets rougher. The trail becomes harder to find and there is significant deadfall. For those who continue on to the trail end, the deadfall eventually eases just before a bridge over the Green River and a significant trail junction with the Lower Green Lakes Circuit, where this trail, Upper Green River Lake North ends.
