From the Hermitage Point Trailhead, located at the south end of the Colter Bay Visitor Center, trails lead to Swan Lake and Heron Pond.
Heron Pond is nestled in lodgepole pine forests. When we were there in 2003, we saw two trumpeter swans on the lake.
After you pass Heron Pond on your hike, complete the loop by returning past Swan Lake back to Colter Bay. Swan Lake is larger than Heron Pond and features beautiful yellow pond lilies.
The 3-mile Swan Lake - Heron Pond loop is quite flat and takes approximately 3 hours to complete.
