Lake Fayetteville Trail is the one of the most popular of Parks and Recreation's Trails. The trail loops the lake with a combination of paved and natural surface shared by walkers, runners, and bikers. There is a variety of flora and fauna in natural settings as well as beautiful views of the lake, so take your camera. The trail offers benches, playgrounds and picnic areas, restrooms, informational kiosks and lighting. Be sure to stop at the rest areas on the beautiful, award winning, bridge spanning the lake spillway.
We haven't visited since January, and they've done a lot of work on the trails! The dirt trail around the lake has been cleared nicely, and wooden walkways and bridges have been added in two parts. This is a great hike if you're looking for an escape from the face-full-of-spider-webs experience you'll be getting on more remote trails right now. Even though this is a well-traveled trail, you'll still get some alone time.
Very beautiful, great exercise. Well laid out. Scenery is great!
Very nice paths, occasionally can get confused as to which way is the path but has improved greatly.
I like to get out there early on the weekends, before the trails fill up with cyclers and walkers. It makes for a very peaceful walk, with the deer and other critters.
