Approximately 4 Miles.
Was initially difficult to figure out the yellow trail but eventually was nicely labeled. There was a VERY short spot where you have to walk on the street bridge.
Love the waterfall area.
Tons of dogs not on leashes as required. Lots of dog poop and trash. Would recommend you bring a trash bag and try to clean up.
Nice trek around the reservoir. Made my way over to the quarry which was fun to see. Next time I might try and run around it. It is full of water and looks pretty deep. Went thru the Girl Scout Camp on my way back, no campers yet. A nice property!
Amazing trail been using it my whole life there is a beaver damn on one side by the boat ramp side
beautiful Trails, very dog friendly off leash, great clean water.
A really nice loop. There is a beaver in there somewhere but couldn't find his home.
An easy go-to!
It's a nice place to walk, lots of dogs and nice people. It takes me about an hour to walk it.
Good loop for cardio, light local hiking through wooded well maintained trail.
A wonderful trail for a day hike. Sticks by a beautiful lake the whole way
Always good
What an amazing place! It felt more like a giant dog park than a hiking trail. My dogs couldn't get enough of the other dogs and all the swimming spots!
go on a weekday, awesome hike. dog loves it. opportunities for humans and pups to swim. great for off leash dogs. beware of coyotes
Loved it! Very relaxing.
Enjoyed the trail!! Beautiful view
I love this trail! Have done it a couple times!
nice relaxing walk, beautiful view from the aquiduct. dogs. kids. some tables here and there. many main road entrences so you can start anywhere
Beautiful views of the lake the entire hike, many nice places to stop and swim.
Easy hike, some parts are runable. Small free parking lot on the spring street side with a boat launch. Nice little kayak reservoir. People tend to have their dogs off leash except on the beach.
There is a lot of roots around the lake!
Good trail dogs love it.
Nice loop around the lake. Pretty and nice on a sunny day. Worn trails show lots of roots. Too many dogs off leash and there are signs saying dogs need to be on a leash. Witnessed an ugly confrontation between a lady, her loose dog, and a runner. Another lady had nine dogs off leashes and had a baby in a carrier. One of her dogs thankfully had a full muzzle on. Not a good combination...babies, dogs, and runners.
nice trail but the markings weren't the best. too often we ended up off trail for a little bit. few downed trees and flooding on trail. nice and shady and while plenty of bugs we never got bit.
Such a beautiful park! If you have a dog you have to visit! Super super dog friendly, almost everyone has dogs off leash and in the water. My dog had a great time!
rooty but great in off season
Dogs galore, so my dog was in heaven. Love this place
nice place to hike but be on the lookout for dog poop. lots of dogs use the trails.
Love this trail. I go often with my dad and we have picnics by the lake. Great year round.
Love this trail, used to picnic on the dam with my Grandmother when I was little. Spent many summers at Camp Winnetaska. Beautiful area, well maintained trails.
Beautiful walk with the dog. Walked through old girl scout camp where we stayed years ago. Fall foliage was perfect. Some great pictures too. Not difficult at all, only difficulty is that people don't keep their dogs on the leash.
