Lake at Falls:
Lake at falls is quite the jaunt if coming from the east rosebud side. The trail is a well maintained trail and gets used heavily, which is why it probably has the name of the beaten path. The people usually thin out after rainbow lake. When the kids go with me we usually take two days to get there and two to get out with one night at lake at falls. The fishing is really good and the scenery is great. Not much camping though at lake at falls. You will either want to camp at rainbow lake or continue up a little further and camp around big park lake.

Caution: Hiking/Camping in the mountains can be dangerous. Please read our caution page.

How to get there: From Roscoe go to East Rosebud. East Rosebud lake is surrounded by private land with log cabins on them. Access to East Rosebud lake itself is somewhat limited. The main road to East Rosebud will end at trail# 15.

The Trail: The trail is a well traveled trail and has lots of scenery on the way. The trail is a gradual climb but is not bad at all. At 3 miles into the hike you will arrive at elk lake a nice spot for a short break. Rimrock lake is about 3 more mile up the trail. When you about 3/4 of a mile from rimrock lake the trail gets a little steep and has some sharp switch-backs. One on top of the switch back you will find Rimrock lake. Go Around Rimrock lake and up the trail 1 more mile to Rainbow lake. From rainbow lake take the trail south following the creek. Lake at Falls is a 2 mile hike from Rainbow.

The Lake: Just up from Rainbow lake is Lake at Falls. This lake has two falls dumping into it. The lake itself is a medium sized lake with few spots to camp. There are plenty of spots to camp though between rainbow and Lake at falls. This is a really pretty lake and worth the hike.

The Fishing: I really enjoy taking the kids here to go fishing and the fishing is usually pretty good towards the inlet. We have never caught anything of significant size but have caught them one right after another without too much trouble.
