About
Avalanche Lake is located in Glacier National Park, in the U. S. state of Montana. Avalanche Lake is southwest of Bearhat Mountain and receives meltwater from Sperry Glacier. Avalanche Lake is a 2 miles (3.2 km) hike from the trailhead along the Trail of the Cedars. The trail roughly follows Avalanche Creek, a whitewater creek that drains out of Avalanche Lake and drains into Haystack Creek. When measured in August 1910, the maximum depth of the lake was 63 feet (19 m) near the upper end.
