About This Trail

Imported description

A trail is located on the opposite side of the road. It is for hikers on the mountain bike trails, no Mtbs. It's a simple trail. The area along the river has a trail but there is no sound from the shooting range. It is clear that the part around Trout Lake is paved. The first section of the trail is mostly trees, going clockwise from the parking lot area. The alternative would be to go for a walk around the lake and then return to the parking lot in the park road.
