Be seen across the valley, but the focus now is on the clear, blue waters of Kinglet Lake that come into view ahead. As you near the lake, the trail widens and levels out before descending slightly to the waters edge.

Kinglet Lake itself is a pristine body of water surrounded by rocky cliffs and lush forest. The peacefulness of the lake makes it a perfect spot for a picnic or to set up camp for the night. The cool, clear water is also ideal for fishing, with trout being a common catch for those with a rod.

The Kinglet Lake hike is 10. 5 km round trip and is considered strenuous due to the elevation gain of 756 m. The trail consists of areas of packed dirt with exposed rock, as well as areas of loose dirt and rock. It is an out and back trail that typically takes 3.

5 to 4. 5 hours to complete, not including time spent at the lake.

To access the trailhead, visitors can park at an unnamed creek about 3 km south of the Siffleur Falls staging area parking lot on Highway 11. The trail begins on the right-hand side of the creek and is marked with a small sign on a fencepost.

Overall, the Kinglet Lake hike offers a beautiful and rewarding experience for outdoor enthusiasts. With stunning views, serene waters, and challenging terrain, it is a must-visit destination for hikers, campers, and fishermen in Clearwater County.
