This easy stroll around the lakeside and through areas of forest is an ideal place to bring young kids, and also makes a great location for your first snowshoe adventure.
Beautiful scenery. Would have logged my trek, however it would have appeared I was chasing a chipmunk. Since Trails were not marked. So I wandered for a bit and then found a good route. Great Lake views 90% of the time. So it's a good place to get lost and enjoy the outdoors
Just under two hours, leisurely hike
Terrible trail. Takes you through a bunch of camp sites. No elevation or views.
Fun/easy trail to walk. Great for kids.
