  • It was a lovely short hike to cold boiling lake from the king’s creek picnic trail. Good amount of park with bathrooms. Trail has a bit of a hill to start then is flat. Just a little disappointing that you can’t really see and bubbling, at least when we were there. One tiny area with occasional tiny bubbles- if we were looking hard for a bit we never would have noticed.
  • Nice quick 1.4mi r/t hike from the parking lot, but pretty disappointing. Just a lake and there were no "boiling" gases.
