At an elevation of 6,500 feet and consisting of 12 acres, this is a very popular lake within the Salmon River Ranger District. The Taylor Lake Trail has been made accessible for physically challenged people. Because this trail is within the wilderness, the tread is only packed earth. The grade is about 7% and the distance from the trailhead to the lake is five miles. This is a nice lake to visit with the elderly or with young children.
