So peaceful over there. My favorite trail is the deep woods trail. Lake loop needs some repairs. Some of the boards are loose and dangerous. One of the boards has an alpine feel to it and only rugs are put over the board which makes it slippery when walking over. It needs repairing asap and anybody can get hurt from it

I have pushed a baby stroller all the way around the lake and had a wonderful time. You just have to be more careful and go a little slower to traverse some of the areas along the trail.

The Lakeview Trail is a perfect trail for shorter jaunts, especially with strollers! It’s 0.3 miles long and is the first trail to the left of the visitor center.

Trail lengths vary depending on the trail, some are as short as .5 miles, while the longest trail goes around the entire lake and takes around an hour, not exactly sure on the length of that one. There are many shorter trails available.
