Description
This is a great hike, especially in the morning when the mist is coming off the lake. The whole way around you have views of the lake. Sometimes it gets heavy with geese so watch for poop. There are a number of playgrounds around the lake, so you do have to pay attention to the kids running around. This trail is located right across the street from the local high school.
