This is a perfect hike for a family. You’ll follow the PCT north and pass though a tunnel under Interstate 80. The sign to Summit Lake is not much farther and the trail is clearly marked. Once you reach the lake, you will find small trails that guide you to different areas of the lake. This is a great area for picnics and trout fishing and there are some campsites available.
