Durant Nature Park Loop

This hike is a great way to reflect on nature and remember what summer camp once was. This trail system is surprisingly serene for being located among housing developments and well-traveled roads. The park has several great trails to choose from, allowing for a variety of hike options and different loops. Starting from the northern parking lot, by the park office, hike south on a short connector to access the Lakeside Trail. This is a fantastic trail that closely follows the lake and allows for close up views of water wildlife and fowl, like cranes. Overall, it is a very relaxing and peaceful trail.From the eastern side of the Lakeside Trail, use the short Order of the Arrow Trail to connect with the Border Trail. The Border Trail is a beautiful trail that provides an opportunity to see deer and the small creeks of the park.From the end of the Border Trail, you can then hike north again with a short side excursion on the Secret Creek Trail to loop back to the where you started.
