The Twin Lakes Trail is one of a handful of great family-friendly hikes in the Silver Lake area of Big Cottonwood Canyon. This hike is easy to moderate as it climbs over 700 feet in a little over one mile. The trail features great views as it climbs above Silver Lake before ending at scenic Twin Lakes Reservoir. Before the dam was built, there were actually two lakes here, but unless water levels are very low, it is now one large lake with beautiful sparkling green water. This trail is suitable for most healthy adults and children.
