Re: Help with Dollar Lake trail access
The fire didn't touch the lake. Its position is wrong on USGS topo maps.
(Yes, I realize that yours was probably a sarcastic comment. )
Probably because it was the only label on the map in that neighborhood?

Maybe reverse psychology works on fires too... Call it the Dollar Lake fire and suddenly it won't burn Dollar Lake.retired jerry wrote: ↑November 11th, 2020, 9:44 amha, ha,... the fire was below Dollar Lake

You know exactly what to do.
There's no need to be afraid.
Keep walking.

Re: Help with Dollar Lake trail access
This should help. A GPS track from one of my hikes. Dollar Lake is about 300 feet to the west of where most maps say it is.

OpenStreetMap, and any map source derived from it (like Gaia or ThunderForest), has the correct position of both the lake and the trail.Don Nelsen wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 9:11 pmThis should help.

Re: Help with Dollar Lake trail access
I've walked to Dollar Lake not on the trail
If you don't find the trail, just find a route up
