The Trail Route
Trail run begins and ends at the parking lot of the boat launch. (See trail map below) The trail is a wide, mowed grass path that follows the lake edge and circles the bird blind pond before returning. This habitat is diverse and the scenery changes, but the path may have uneven areas. Please keep an eye out as you run.
