January 22, 2021January 18, 2021January 14, 2021January 12, 2021January 4, 2021beautiful lake trail--I hike it several times a week and almost always see bald eagles. Very safe area with friendly people. Many families enjoy trail together, as it is very kid friendly.
January 1, 2021Beautiful lake and surrounding neighborhood. Paved loop, great for running, walking and rainy days.
December 31, 2020This trail is always so beautiful. It is one of our favorites!
December 30, 2020December 29, 2020December 28, 2020Kinda of a bummer but this ‘trail’ is in the middle of town around a small lake. You are not in the woods or nature. It’s more of what we would call a greenway in a city.
December 11, 2020December 10, 2020Nice, easy trail. Pretty views. Interesting history.
November 22, 2020A great flat, smooth trail to finish a long day in the mountains. Relaxing and nice community around a clean lake.
November 15, 2020November 12, 2020November 12, 2020Pretty Lake. Ended up not doing whole thing as where we parked there were no signs that you have to do the trail clockwise to maintain social distance. Because of that, we literally had to turn around when we reached a sign telling us to do so. Would have been nice to see sign close to where people park. Lots of swans & ducks, & nice views of the mountains. Flat & easy.
November 7, 2020It was fine.
October 31, 2020October 24, 2020If you are looking for a peaceful relaxing flat walk, this is it. The lake and mountain views are pretty. There are ducks, geese, and swans. Relaxing and peaceful.
October 23, 2020Peaceful early morning walk. Paved, easy and set in pretty mountain setting. Well maintained, pretty flowers, trees and geese. Walked by locals and tourists.
October 22, 2020Paved. More a stroll than a hike. Beautiful views. Mountains are pretty wherever they are. But ok... ok ok... ok. When you pull into the community, the proletarian row dormitories and dining hall SCREAM Lake Jonestownalaska. Once you get around the lake though, the class distinctions become gradually more clear; notice how the houses get a lot nicer the farther around you walk until... *gasp* the stone McMansion of the Lake King!! I have prepared a 50 slide, PowerPoint presentation entitled “Junalarxism and Religion: A Leftist Analysis,” which I will now...
October 17, 2020October 7, 2020October 7, 2020Beautiful walking trail! Paved and easy to walk.
October 2, 2020Super easy and super cute! Dog friendly and you have to walk the trail clockwise no matter what.
October 1, 2020September 28, 2020It is really a walk, not a trail. You are an asphalt or concrete the whole way. Do use are of water, yes but also of lots and lots of houses and buildings around this very small lake. Not scenic really
September 26, 2020Always a good walk
