January 3, 2021Love this trail around the lake and it’s beautiful year round!
December 29, 2020Nice flat hike around Spooner Lake. Great snow sledding before the lake.
December 28, 2020This trail is super easy and super beautiful.
December 27, 2020December 24, 2020Easy-peasy trail, lots of places to sit and take in the view. Also lots of people and traffic noise, though, so if seclusion and privacy are your thing, this is probably not the trail for you.
December 24, 2020Great easy snowshoeing
December 14, 2020We loved that this trail is kid friendly. We disliked hearing the freeway noise but overall, it was a great trail.
December 1, 2020Great easy trail. Was mostly covered with snow so it was slippery at times, but nothing crazy. Went on a Monday and only saw a few other people. Hiking poles and/or good boots are recommended.
November 30, 2020Saw only two others. Slippery at times. Wear good boots if you want to hike down to the water’s edge.
November 27, 2020November 17, 2020Had to blow some time while my 4Runner was getting serviced at Toyota in Carson. Such a fun loop! Getting kinda muddy so wear appropriate shoes! Great for dogs! Didn’t see another person on the trail. Perfect!!
November 3, 2020Nice easy, relatively flat trail.
November 2, 2020Nice easy trail around the lake. We missed the fall colors by only 2 weeks we were told. Still beautiful tho. Saw eagles!
November 2, 2020This is a beautiful, soft trail with abundant wildlife, such as American Coots (black feathers with white beak) and a variety of trees, like Jeffrey, Lodgepole, and Sugar pines and Aspen. All around the Lake there are interesting placards about the forest and the Spooner family (Spooner Station). The trail and location has a rich history. Benches at many places along the trail. Plenty of parking near the trailhead. $10 cash entrance for day use. State is presently (early Nov. 2020) doing a lot of forest management around the north and east shorelines. Preventing forest fires from spreading. Thank you Nevada! Good job!
November 2, 2020Beautiful, easy trail to enjoy nature and the lake. Came Nov 1st in hopes to enjoy fall foliage. Some still there but a lot has fallen already. Still enjoyable though!
November 1, 2020Perfect Family-friendly trail. Loved it!
November 1, 2020Very pretty, easy trail
