Beautiful spring day hike to Jenks Lake at Angelus Oaks in the San Bernardino Mountains

Jenks Lake remains a popular fishing destination in the San Bernardino National Forest. The moderate hike to and around the lake is a nice introduction to the area and a great way to beat the heat during the summer. Southern California may be known for its magnificent beaches, but we locals know that we also have some pretty epic lakes that are worthy of exploring. Jenks Lake is the perfect setting for an afternoon near the water where you will be surrounded by beauty and nature. Located near picturesque Angelus Oaks 6,700 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains , you'll find the drive to Jenks Lake to be a scenic delight.We stroll out on the pier and look at the glorious view. And we took a moment to breathe in that fresh mountain air. Aaaaah....so refreshing! And when where done taking in the trails, we head back to the lake for some more peace and quiet. Now this is the good life! From the Barton Flats Visitor Center, or from the turnout on Highway 38 if the visitor center is closed, pick up the signed Rio Monte Panorama Trail, which parallels the roads for about 0.2 miles. Pick up the signed Jenks Lake Trail which bends south. You cross attractive Frog Creek (0.4 miles) and continue up the hill on a few loose switchbacks. About a mile from the start, you get a good glimpse of the San Gorgoino Ridge and a view southwest through a gap in the trees. At 1.2 miles, the trail reaches the lake. A long wooden pier makes for an excellent viewing platform. The 0.7 mile loop around the lake can be hiked in either direction. Heading clockwise, you pass first by a picnic area with outhouses, then continue on a dirt road to a private campground at the east end of the lake. A short climb up a steep slope brings you to another road, which you follow around the lake’s south shore, ending up at a stone walkway and viewing platform where interpretive plaques describe the history of the area. From here, continue back to the trail and retrace your steps down to the visitor center. #bigbear #lakearrowhead #jenkslake #sanBernardinoMountains Please support my channel guys.
