Ward Lake and Ward Creek Trails

I took advantage of a break in the weather to walk around Ward Lake, and then take the Ward Creek Trail to Last Chance campground and back.

The Ward Creek Trail goes from Ward Lake to Last Chance Campground. All the trails in this area can be accessed by any of the parking lots; at the most, a few hundred yards of road separate the trailheads.

Checking and Setting Cameras

February 21

Set a camera here to cover a deer trail that crosses the creek, and I expect black bear to use the big log as a bridge.

This camera covers a trail that follows the bank of this creek; the brown spots in the moss are where black bear left salmon carcasses, so this will be a good spot to catch bears fishing this fall.

This spot covers a trail that crosses the creek and what should also be a good fishing hole for black bear this fall.

I had a camera here in the past and it proved to be a good spot for deer, bear, otter and mink.

I spooked 3 deer as I approached this camera.
