Thank |One of my new local trails... I had fun for what the trail is. Could definitely use some love from a local group or bike shop to add some trail markings or create a map but there is good potential for fun here if you're just looking to get out after work and get a quick 5 - 10 miles in.
Thank |There are numerous trails all the way around the lake. There was some construction at the top of the hill near a school or something. There is a long descent to pick up some speed and launch into an open grass area. I haven't been there in a while, but it was a fun ride. The trails are pretty clean from people walking their dogs. I have seen the occasional horse as well. Be courteous of the walkers and their animals. Slow down when any people are near by and be respectful, clean up after yourself.
