Hiking
Pretty Barber Lake sits at the juncture of the trail and the road of the same name. This is a great place to start or end a hike, or to piece together a loop between the Barber Lake Trail and Barber Lake Road.
This area is also surprisingly good for spotting butterflies and moths. Keep an eye out for unusual species including the hoary anglewing and the green comma.

Running
Pretty Barber Lake is a great roadside destination, but it also makes a decision point (or starting place) for runners, as you can choose from several routes here. One fun option is to power up the single- and double-track of the Barber Lake Trail — with consistent elevation gain that will have your thighs burning — then loop around and freewheel it on the descent along Barber Lake Road.
