Confirmed from Lake Lizzie Conservation Area North Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Lake Lizzie Conservation Area North Trailhead
“These trails are also not traveled very often even by service vehicles so do not expect a clean dirt path to follow.”
“Such a beautiful area with wildlife and amazing scenery”
Nice quiet park. Only sounds aside from nature are some passing planes heading to OIA. Today was chilly a.m., here a diamond back is getting some sun. Great hike today!
Check out reviews on AllTrails app. Beautiful area with easy trails and no hills. 2.5 mile (one way) trails between the south and north trailhead, and a very nice 1.8 mile loop off the north trailhead. Many views of the lake, and you’ll see other couples with dogs or riding horses along the way.
I really enjoyed walking this trail. BEWARE: Look carefully for signs at each new trail. If you're planning on taking the shorter trail toward the water, it's easy to miss the turn offs because the signs are sort of behind you. There are several trails leading off the two main Lizzie Lake trails.
I hiked in from the south entrance using the lake lizzie trail. Hiking in this area is somewhat difficult as the trails are mostly sand and there are no true trail markers and many other trails criss cross the area. I followed the posts that they used to mark trail mileage as the best way to find my path.
