Lipstick Lake Trail, which lies deep in the Russian Wilderness Area to the west of Callahan, is served by the Duck-Eaton Trailhead. Take the signed trail following the roadbed past Horse Range Creek. Look for the Lipstick Lake Trail sign. Another mile up a steep trail will bring you to the tiny, 1.25 acre Lipstick Lake.

Continue past the Lipstick Lake Trail junction a couple of miles to the Music Creek Divide for access to the Pacific Crest Trail and points to the north or south.

Follow this back north for about 1.5 miles to Duck-Eaton Trailhead. Take the signed trail following the roadbed past Horse Range Creek. Look for the Lipstick Lake Trail sign.
