Tangle Blue Lake Tangle Blue Lake is a scenic destination, surrounded by jagged ridgetops, and the approach is short. It is a fairly warm lake, due to its shallow depth, and swimming and fishing are just two of the benefits to be found here.
Water is found in a stream on the east side, along the swampy trail.
The easy approach means that solitude is sporadic at best. You may climb to the saddle southeast of the lake for views of granite-spired Bear Ridge, Horse Creek Basin, and Eagle Creek. From the trailhead, you follow old logging and mining roads. A bridge is crossed shortly after you begin, followed by a steep climb before you angle right towards the creek. Your path continues straight.
