Good stuff
Love that there’s a bathroom halfway through the loop! The flies were bad today, in mid-April
Amazing trail! Grass pretty much the whole way and a great mix of scenery! One of my favorite ones to date.
Beautiful
Great trail to have some nice views, pretty well trafficked, had to keep my dogs on a leash most of the time.
Great and well maintained trail for running/walking and even stroller friendly in most areas. Beautiful views of the water and cliffs so be sure to come early and bring a camera!
Beautiful. Hidden gem.
Cute trail with fossils!
Early Spring means a wet walk on the backside of the loop, but it is a great trail. The pooch is too old to walk, so we push her in a buggy, and it adds to the workout. There are no impassable spots, but make sure it is a ruggedized stroller.
Well maintained trail that offers nice views of the lake. Muddy at spots due to ground thawing. Great place for a leisurely stroll.
The trail starts out pretty, but nice, but soon comes into some spectacular scenery at the Narrows. Manageable hills and climbs, and muddy (we had an early spring hike), so prepare accordingly. Would recommend this and other trails at this park.
Nice easy walk with children or pets. My son enjoys this walk with all the flat rock and finding the many fossils in them. There’s area’s of open fields and wooded areas.
Excellent trail and gorgeous views
Loved loved loved this trail. I made a Cinematic Video, YouTube. @ Javhon Sago
beautiful
great trail, however closed from 27SEP-31DEC for hunting and wildlife management.
Awesome trail. Very scenic, especially lovely if you enjoy lake views.
A nice easy trail with incredible views. Took the recommendation of walking along the lake and then coming back vs doing the full loop. Be careful of hunters! There’s a small sign along the cliff edge that notifies you when you’re crossing into hunting land, but it would be easily missed. We heard a few gunshots as we got out that way and immediately turned back when we realized we were at the edge of the state park property.
Mostly flat, well groomed trails with beautiful lake views.
Very nice. Eel Bay (green) to Middle Trail (red)
