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

  1. Set expectations on the steep start — the trail is short but not gentle from the trailhead.
  2. 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.
