Description
Vulcan Lake sparkles in its little cirque below Vulcan Peak. While the 2002 Biscuit Fire ravaged much of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, this area saw more of a scrub fire and larger Port Orford cedars were left standing.
It's a short hike into the lake, and the inviting waters command a cooling dip; there are also a couple of established camp spots near the shore.
