Hiking the Wolf Lake Trail

The Wolf Lake Trail is a primitive trail that starts at Harriet Hunt Lake goes over a ridge then drops into the valley where the lake sits. It’s a hard trail to follow after you cross the ridge as it has become really over grown and shows little sign of use.

I decided it was too windy to fish for trout effectively so instead of going all the way to the lake I wandered around the woods looking for deer and deer sign for a bit before heading back out. The deer sign was a little sparse, but the best I’ve seen it since about 25 years ago when wolves wiped the deer out.

The Trail

From here the trail goes through muskegs to the lake, I headed into the woods from here and wandered around for a couple hours before heading back.

Checking a Camera, and Setting 3 More for Black Bear fishing for Pink Salmon (Humpies)

Every pool in this creek that is over a foot deep has fish in it holding out and trying to survive the bears until the next rain. After the next serious rain the main run will fill this stream with thousands of fish.

Here are the 3 spots I set cameras

Set a camera here for videos

I’ve used this spot before, but this is the first time I set a camera here for videos

I’ve had a camera here for over a year but I moved it to the other side of the creek, below is a video from the original tree.

Hiking and Checking Cameras 8/13

This creek is filling up with pink salmon, after the next serious rain the main run should show up

It takes a lot of luck to get good pictures with trailcams but sometimes everything comes together.

This camera sits in the bottom of a ravine, I was planning on moving it to an easier place to get to but it took so many pictures I had to leave it.

This camera sits at the top of the same ravine as the previous camera, it gets a lot of action.
