Summary: The trail is well labeled and easy to find due to the traffic it receives. From the trailhead begin by following the route towards Longs Peak. Soon after breaking treeline you will come to an intersection where the Longs Peak trail goes right and the Chasm Lake trail goes left. There is a sign here labeling the trail for Chasm lake. (There is also a restroom here) Take this trail the rest of the way to Chasm Lake. Trailhead: Head South from Estes Park on Highway 7 for 9.2 miles. Turn right onto Longs Peak Road. This road ends at the Longs Peak Trailhead. If you don't get here early though, you may have to park a long ways away. The park fee is $20 for 3 day access or $35 for an annual pass as of 2005.

Reviewed by Hubbard on 8/14/2009 My 14yr old son and I did this hike 7-31-09 and really enjoyed ourselves- for Oklahomans we did pretty good we only had to rest a couple of times and the end result is awesome- Our goal is to to Longs next year!! We will do this hike again 2010 to get ready for Longs...
Reviewed by bryanc on 5/30/2008 I did this hike with my 20lb daughter on my back and had no problems. The waterfall by the lake is nice and you really get an up close view of Longs Peak. We found a shelter under some rocks when it started to rain and had lunch there. It was great. I will be taking friends and family here when they come visit!
Reviewed by GB on 8/12/2007 nine easy miles (if you are in good shape), 72 degrees and a deep blue sky, no clouds on this day. Took a swim in the frigid water and watched the climbers on the east face of Longs Peak (14,255 Ft). My second favorite hike. 08/11/07 
Reviewed by Jon on 7/24/2006 Great hike! The trail was easy to follow with a moderate incline that challenged some of us "Flat Landers". We had to traverse a couple snow field and dodge falling ice, but reached our destination. The view was spectacular as we rested and admired the breath-taking beauty of Long's Peak.
