Lot’s of instructions at the trailhead. Here’s what you need to know.

The trail roughly follows the South Fork of the Santa Ana River up to Dry Lake.

The first part of the hike is steep, and then there’s a mellow stretch in the middle that almost feels flat. After that it’s a climb to the lake. There’s about 2100 feet of elevation difference between the South Fork Trailhead and Dry Lake.

The upper lot is next to this trail board and bathroom structure.

When you get to the parking lot, make the hard right and drive up to the upper parking area close to the bathrooms.
