This trail is about the width of an ATV in most spots. Some spots it is a bit wider. It is regularly mowed so the trail is easy to follow through the long grass around the lake. You will see a lot of birds and deer. There are some slightly covered benches and tables along the way but for the most part there is no cover from the sun or rain so plan accordingly. The trail is relatively flat and meanders around the lake. There are 2 short sections in which you need to jump onto a dirt road to access a bridge crossing.

Access Info

Multiple parking areas depending on which side of Patterson lake you are on.
