The road to the trailhead is a little tricky to not miss. It’s the road directly opposite from the turn off for the Mirror Lake trailhead. I parked at the Glacier View Sno-Park/Trailhead. There isn’t much parking available and the road continuing on is gated. It looked more like an inner city park kind of hike than an undisturbed wilderness kind of hike.
I took the Crosstown Trail #755 and ended up coming across the lake sooner than I expected. There was a little off trail that went to the lake’s edge. It was only 0.15 miles one-way. It looked more like a swampy pond to me. Someone ended up coming up right behind me with their dog, so I took some pictures and left. There were multiple mountain bikes that passed me. I personally think it would be a more fun mountain biking trail than hiking trail.
Supposedly on a clear day one can see Mt Hood (the top of it) on the other side of the lake. There were some clouds in the sky blocking the view when I went.
