Length: 11.0 miles RT Elevation Change: 3700' gain Season: Late Spring thru Fall until snowfall Difficulty: Difficult due to steepness of trail and length of hike Permit: NW Forest Pass Required Features: This hike begins at the Wahclella Falls parking lot. Just walk a brief
distance back toward the freeway and you will see the trail on your right taking off up
behind the parking lot. Follow the trail for about a mile and after crossing under power
lines you will come to a service road which you need to follow south upstream for about
another mile. You will then come to the Tanner Ridge/Butte Trail head. Follow Trail #401
for about 2.2 miles and 1500' in elevation later you will come to a junction with the
Wauna Point Trail #401D. Bear to your right and continue a more gentle climb up Tanner Ridge.
In a little over 2 miles you will come to the junction of Trail #448, which descends back
down toward Tanner Creek. You could use this trail as a return loop of sorts. Anyway,
continue a bit further on Trail #401 and you will come to the junction for Dublin Lake.
Follow Trail #401B down to Dublin Lake. This little jewel is worth the hike and there
are a few legal camp areas to be found around the lake.
