4.5 (6 Ratings)
A nice paved trail around the well-forested lake. It's a surprisingly secluded bit of nature and a pleasant hike.

Description
This is a short but very pleasant and well-forested paved path around the Marshall Lake. The path is 1.7 miles around the full circuit starting and ending at the main parking area. Most of this trail is among the trees making it a great option for hot summer days. This is a fairly new path and is already very popular among hikers and runners. You'll also find plenty of places for fishing and kayaking.
