Trail Feature:

This trail is within Strawberry Mountain Wilderness and is a spur that leads to Mud Lake from Mud Lake Trail #379. Mud Lake Trail #379 runs east and west linking Skyline Trail #385 and Meadow Fork Trail #376.
There is very little use of this lake in comparison with the other lakes in the basin. It has a nice setting with good access to east end trails. There are few to no fish at Mud Lake making fishing poor. There is a very damp perimeter around the lake making it difficult to access. It is 1 1/2 miles to the lake from the start of Mud Lake Trail #379.
