Lakeshore / Woodland Loop

4.0 (1 Rating)
Simple out-and-back with a "lollipop" loop for variety. Mostly in the woods, but also mostly wide trail.

Description
Trail starts on old service road in the trees. Approaching the beach section it is hard packed singletrack but clear/open on both sides to the trees. Beach section is loose sand/small pebble. Bluff section is challenging large rock and unstable smaller rocks with sections of sand/ small pebbles. Woodland section is primarily singletrack, but opens up for a while where it follows Cooper Bluff "road". Be aware that a portion of the trail is right along the park border.
