Legend has it that early pioneers mistook the proper native name and interpreted it as Icicle. As pronounced this name sounds very similar to Icicle. The native name for Icicle Creek was Nasikelt. It's one of the best areas to learn about Northwest Salmon, river ecology, and the role of fish hatcheries in our state. The hatchery releases over one million salmon per year. You can complete the perimeter of this trail in under an hour, but if you'd like to walk for longer, there are different paths intersecting the center of the trail that you can also explore.
Bring your dog along to join you on this nature trail, but be sure to keep them on a leash and always clean up after them. This gentle trail can be used by the entire family, and the wide paths and level surfaces make it easy to bring a stroller or wheelchair along with you. Be sure to pick up the interpretive brochure before heading out on the trail. This is a fun trail for walking and learning about the spectacular Icicle River Valley and the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery. You may expect Martians to greet you here, but more likely it will just be a marmot trying to steal your bologna sandwich. Curve around to the right side of the lake to see a large landslide of deep red lunar-looking rocks part of a larger serpentine formation. The lake is great for swimming, picnicing and fishing. Follow the trail for another mile to Eightmile Lake. Stay to the left (the right fork goes to Lake Caroline #1554). At 2.5 miles from the trailhead you will reach Little Eightmile Lake (actually it's just a small pond). The trail follows this road for awhile then dips off to the left. The hike begins climbing uphill and shortly intersects with an old logging road. The trailhead is easy to find, just the opposite side of the road from the parking area. The hike is generally uphill the whole way, but it's a reasonable climb. They lost of a lot of bike shops as dealers after basically giving inventory to the CEO's son's business (Randall Scott Cycles) so he could make money selling the bikes direct for cheaper than the shops.This is a beautiful and popular hike to a lake surrounded by impressive mountains and geological wonders. The CEO paid family members bogus salaries from the company payroll. They ended up with about $20 million in debt because they stopped paying their suppliers and tricked other suppliers into delivering products they no intent to pay for. They licensed Dave Weagle's DW Link suspension and then stopped paying him. They had nothing left to sell at that point besides the rights to the Iron Horse name and a bunch of unsold bikes and partsĪlmost every single MKIII frame they made has broken because of a design fault. They had been good at one point, but then they ran themselves into the ground in a really bad way and were forced by bankruptcy to sell their inventory and brand name to Dorel. I disagree that paints Iron Horse in way too positive a light.
