Cowhorn Pond Lean-To Trail

This short connector leads from the main Cowhorn Pond Trail to the lean-to on the pond's shore, covering just two-tenths of a mile. It's a standard spur in the West Canada Lakes Wilderness, designed to get backpackers from the through-route to their campsite. Expect a flat, well-trodden path that ends at one of the area's backcountry shelters.
