        The Lakeside Trail is actually five trails that are all located on the lake side of the central access for the system, the abandoned Cable Line Road. These trails (closest to parking lot first) are Two Mile, Welcome to the Machine, Whoop De Doo, Kitchen Sink, and East Davis. These trails are intermediate in skill level, and have a noticeable amount of climbing. There aren't a lot of rocks on Lakeside - the main culprit here are the incredible roots.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
