This popular Whatcom County trail is still off-limits because of cougar interaction
May 28—You're out of luck if you're hoping to hike the Baker Lake Trail and camp nearby this Memorial Day weekend.
The trail and campsites on the east side of Baker Lake were still closed as of Friday, May 28, over concerns about a cougar's reaction to people over a two-week span.
The area is in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, in Whatcom County.
The popular low-elevation trail has been closed since last weekend, and the Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife is still assessing the situation.
