Image Lake is a tarn in Glacier Peak Wilderness, in the North Cascades of Washington, United States.

[4] As a result of a relatively mild temperate climate with ample precipitation, the areas around Image Lake boast rich natural habitats with many species of plants, insects, rodents, and large mammals.

[9] Many of these routes followed ridge tops in order to avoid the dense brush and avalanche chutes of the valley bottoms.

[6][10] As a result, livestock were allocated to the nearby Lady Camp Basin and hardier plants were introduced to the area surrounding the lake.

[4] In 2003, floods washed out large portions of the Suiattle River Road, beginning 12.5 miles (20.1 km) from the trailhead, making Image Lake more accessible from Holden or Trinity.

[13] However, the Forest Service has a limited budget, and the effort to rebuild the road has been criticized by environmental groups, partly because of the lower number of visitors, since access from the west has become almost impossible.

[4][5] The trail begins by following the Suiattle River, eventually reaching open meadows with views of Glacier Peak.
