Description
This is a moderately trafficked doubletrack trail that loops around a lake. To find the trail, hike past the park office to the lake and follow signs for the trail. The trail is mostly mowed grass traveling through open areas but also has some forested sections. It is usually well marked by signs and does travel on road for a few hundred feet on the other side of the lake.
