Confirmed from Lake to Lake Western 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.
Scenic hiking area with a wooden bridge over a swamp, frequented by deer.

Absolutely beautiful trail, though I'm not too sure where youre supposed to park.
We enjoyed the walk across boardwalks and asphalt pathways to Lake Isaac. It is a large lake and very scenic area. Use caution along the asphalt paths as a few areas have tree roots buckling up the pathway. The lookout area has a metal nature guide which was interesting to look through.
