Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for a two-hour visit to allow for frequent stops at the various educational kiosks located near the visitor center.
- 2Pack a high-SPF sunscreen and a windbreaker, as the high-elevation sun and gusts off the water are intense even on cool days.
- 3Display a valid $10 Forest Service day-use pass on your dashboard, which can be purchased at the self-service kiosks at the Strawberry Bay or Renegade boat ramps.
- 4Use the paved Strawberry Shoreline Trail for the most accessible experience and to avoid the muddy patches often found near the water's edge.
- 5Bring a pair of binoculars if visiting in the fall to spot the bright red Kokanee salmon spawning in the nearby tributaries.
- 6Arrive via Highway 40 and head to the Strawberry Visitor Center for the easiest access to marked trailheads and restroom facilities.
