Land Owner
The Bluff Lake Loop is located in the Bluff Lake Reserve which is managed by The Wildlands Conservancy. The short loop trail is very easy and features a rich diversity of wildlife, natural plants and a scenic alpine lake. The trail is popular for families, hikers and strollers. It is a little bit off the beaten track and is normally quiet. Bring a camera for great photo opportunities. You may recognize the scenery as the location of the original Disney movie "Parent Trap," and "Dr. Dolittle 2."
