Lake and Geneva Loop is a 2.7 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Rangeley, Maine that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Not enjoyable. Very narrow and buggy and "bridge" is out (or at least doesn't look safe to cross .5 miles in. Gnome houses at beginning are worth taking kids to but that's about it...
Not groomed or well marked at all. We came to a bridge that was not passable. I do not recommend this trail at all.
Lake Trail is all thru the forest with lots of bugs!!! A little muddy in sections but not too bad. We stopped at the first picnic table and walked a bit in the weeds to see the lake. Nice view of Saddleback Mountain slopes to the right. Turned around because of the bugs! A nice uphill climb back that got the heart pumping a bit. Love to try this trail in the winter with snow shoes.
We were surprised that Rangely Trail Center did not pop up when we searched in AllTrails.com for trails near Rangely. It seems that the Trail Center is primarily for Cross Country Skiing and snow shoeing, but we had a good time walking there. We did the hike to the Picnic Table on the lake. Some of the terrain was a bit rough due to the many roots we had to climb over, but our feet stayed dry in late Sept. A delightful thing about this walk was that there were little gnome houses, with gnomes inside of them, along the way. Kids would love this.
