Part of a Cooper Landing day, from either property
Tier B · Cooper Landing Hiking
Fuller Lakes Trail
Fuller Lakes Trail is short in mileage — roughly 2.9 miles one way — but starts with a steep climb before reaching Lower and then Upper Fuller Lake, both with real fishing. Pack stock is prohibited on this trail.
Who this suits
Guests who want a real alpine-lake payoff without a long day, and are prepared for a steep initial climb despite the short distance. Good for anglers wanting a hike-in lake.
A plan that works
- Set expectations on the steep start — the trail is short but not gentle from the trailhead.
- Mention fishing at both lakes for guests who want to combine hiking and fishing.
Drive and timing, honestly
- Sterling Highway near Cooper Landing. No drive time is stated — none has been measured from either property.
- Half day to full day.
What we won’t promise
- We cannot promise current trail and wet/muddy conditions, current fishing regulations at both lakes, or current access status toward Mystery Creek Wilderness.
Practical notes
- Short mileage but a genuinely steep start — pack stock is prohibited.
