The Trail
This is a moderate 3.8 mile (one way) trail with 763 foot elevation change (but keep in mind this trail goes up, down, and a little up again).
The trail starts at Tony Grove heading north. It progresses at a gradual climb until it goes around the mountains and then descends to the lake on the opposite side. The lake does not become visible until you reach the top of the very last little hill, but as you approach the lake, the trail does cross a couple small streams. Once at the lake, the trail continues for a ways following the shoreline, allowing for many good views of this beautiful area.
This trail is open to horses, dogs, and backpackers. There are backpacking campsites near White Pine Lake, and an outhouse is available there too. There are also restrooms and water available at Tony Grove.

Tony Grove Lake |
This trail is well labeled and easy to follow. Tony Grove also marks the trail head for Naomi Peak (a 3.3 mile one way trail). The red flags on the topographical map below mark turn offs along the While Pine Lake Trail for Naomi Peak. There is also a short nature trail at Tony Grove that circles the Tony Grove Lake.

Don't be surprised to see sheep or cows along the trail; ranchers use this area for grazing their animals |
