Runner Notes

This is a great trail to use for trail speedwork.

Description

This is a great loop trail that can be added to other trails in the park to make longer loops. This trail weaves in and out of coves of the lake and offers some good views of the lake during its journey. This is a great trail to use for an easy scenic mid-week run.
