Description
The trail system is comprised of several small segments which allow for a variety of routes and distances. The trails are heavily wooded which provides significant shading, however it is not heavily rooted allowing for a good footing and a smooth and steady pace. The eastern side of the loop heads through more dense woods with many winding turns. The western side of the loop follows along the shore of the lake, and there are many areas to view the lake and watch the sun set if your timing is right.
