Hiking
True to its name, Swamp Lakes are as much marshy bogs as they are actual lakes. Their water levels depend on the time of year, but the trail is better known for the wildlife that frequent the area rather than the actual lakes. The riparian environment is usually a very healthy, green spot in the valley with wildflowers in the spring and summer months.
