Beautiful lake setting perfect for a peaceful walk, enhanced by wildlife and wildflowers.

Park in the lot to access the trail (see map). This is an ideal trail to walk with kids, or to do by yourself! Dogs are welcome too.

Hike the Lake Elkhorn Trail

Nice Length

Beautiful to walk around the lake. Though I wouldn’t call it a hike it’s a nice long walk (or shorter run but you can easily do the loop multiple times). Paved path, fishing spots and a playground, it has something for everyone!
