This Cabinet Mountains Wilderness trail leads to Engle Lake and Engle Peak. The trail climbs steeply to the wilderness boundary approximately one mile from the trailhead then follows a ridgeline towards Engle Peak and Engle Lake basin. Spectacular views of peaks within the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness and the Clark Fork Valley can be seen from the ridgeline. Several dispersed campsites are located around Engle Lake and small cutthroat trout are in the lake.

About this trail's facts
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
