October 5, 2020This trail is one of my favorite walks! Great for small children. Well maintained and clearly marked.
October 4, 2020Highly trafficked loop lots of dogs too. Views of the lake entire loop. Need to pay $5 to enter the park so make sure you have some cash on hand
September 12, 2020September 10, 2020easy around the lake. the big rock loop was very navigable and good footing, but steep in places.
August 16, 2020August 11, 2020More of a walk than a hike, but a nice, shaded, quiet walk around the lake. Pleasant water views and lots of butterflies.
July 26, 2020Did this with the wife, kids, and dogs! Was really nice, and the boys got to swim at the “beach” when we finished the loop.
July 19, 2020Easy trail, even in flip-flops
July 12, 2020Nice easy trail
June 13, 2020Fun, easy, enjoyable trail. Watch for snakes!
May 21, 2020It’s by no means backcountry, but it’s a pleasant stroll around the water. Crowds at the swimming and camping area are to be expected.
March 8, 2020My husband and I took our kids (11,9, and 1) for a nice nature walk. We had never been on this trail but we really enjoyed it! there were a few uphill bits but nothing major. It was a beautiful walk and we'll definitely be back!
October 14, 2019We visited on 10/14/19. The trail was well-maintained, wide, and easy to follow. It's mostly crushed gravel--very few roots/rocks/impediments. Of all the trails we did at Fort Mountain Park, this was definitely the easiest. The lake is nice, and there are multiple places around it to have a picnic.
October 6, 2019Good outing. Great weather for a trail run.
October 5, 2019beautiful lake views
September 1, 2019Pretty walk around the lake - very flat. Crowded by the beach but very pretty around the back side. Easy walk if you just want to get outside for a bit
July 7, 2019Nice easy trail around the Lake. Could be good for biking as it is mostly flat. Good for dogs!
