Trail
This is my favorite hidden lake trail! Just go (walk, not drive, there is no parking there!) on redwood left, right on Birch Land, and immediate left on Cedar Elm, walk towards the main road - which is not that busy at all, called Oakmont Dr. Cross it. Go left a little bit and turn right into Indian Lake Trail stay straight until you reach the lake. The total distance to the lake is .6 miles. The lake is PRIVATE but the trail around it is public. Beautiful views and abundant wild life, peaceful!
