Desc: The trail varies from a nearly flat boardwalk over the lower 2.5 miles to a moderately steep grade for the next four miles to Heckman Lake.

June through September are the most popular hiking months in southeast Alaska. Upper elevations are often snow-covered until mid June, making the going tough without skis or snowshoes. A clear fall day, without bugs and with autumn alpine color, can be a great time for a trip, providing you are prepared for sudden weather changes.
60 minutes by car from Ketchikan. The trail starts at he head of Naha Bay from the floating dock and ends at the cabin site at the outlet of Heckman Lake.
