Description
From the large parking lot at the entrance to Lone Lake Park, a paved trail leads down to the dock at the lake. Past the dock, the trail becomes mostly dirt as it climbs over a rise and drops into the drainage of the South Fork of Nine Mile Creek. The trail follows the creek south, through a tunnel under Rowland Road and under the Crosstown Highway (Hwy 62). Just south of Hwy 62, the trail enters Bryant Lake Regional Park and becomes paved. Follow this trail past the popular dog off-leash area to the shore of Bryant Lake. You can return from here or loop back on unpaved trails in the southeast corner of the park.
