About This Trail

Imported description

The bike/jog trail in North Park is a paved road that leads to a 5 mile path around North Park Lake. Cyclists and joggers share the space on the trail but they have their own lanes and share another lane in the other direction. There are places to park along the route, with many water fountains, rest rooms, picnic shelters and playground. There are more than a dozen Geocaches located within park boundries, four less than a mile from the path. It would take a whole day to log them all and hike about 15 miles.
