About this trail
Linkins Lake is a short out-and-back trail in Pike-San Isabel National Forest's South Park Ranger District near Colorado. The 0.9-mile route gains 401 feet of elevation, making it a moderately steep but brief hike suitable for visitors seeking a quick alpine experience without extensive time commitment. The trail leads to Linkins Lake, offering access to this alpine water body managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The concentrated elevation gain over the short distance means hikers will experience noticeable climbing, but the minimal mileage keeps the overall exertion manageable for most fitness levels. This trail is ideal for those looking to explore the South Park area's high country landscape. The out-and-back configuration allows hikers to turn around at any point and return via the same route. Pike-San Isabel National Forest provides ample opportunity for alpine and subalpine recreation throughout the South Park Ranger District.
