General Description: trail (lollipop loop pattern) through forest and along lake

OPAL’s Observations & Opinions: This new (established in 2021) trail system features trails that are very wide, clean and well-marked (color-coded metal trail markers). Trails pass through beautiful forest and often follow the shoreline so lake views are common. There are hills but none are particularly steep. Completing the entire trail as a lollipop loop is about 3 miles.
