Backpack (1B): Island Lake (Sacramento Group)

This is a 'light to moderate' backpack in to Island Lake, near Carr and Feeley Lakes, off Hwy. 20 in the Grouse Ridge area. Less than 3 miles each way, and elevation gain less than 500'. Individual commissary. There are several beautiful lakes in the area suitable for swimming. A day hike up to Penner Lake is an option. We may see a family of river otters that resides in the area.
Well-behaved owners (leader’s rules) with dogs on leash and under control at all times (park rules) are OK. Forecast for substantial rain may cancel. Backpack experience required.
