This is the park's longest trail at 2.28 miles open to hiking and biking. It starts at the entrance road looping through native prairie then meets the Lake View Trail at a signed junction. Hikers can easily see the shape of the landscape carved out by the glacier as they travel up and over the rocky moraine. The trail offers some excellent views of Beaver Lake and offers good bird and butterfly watching opportunities.

Excellent ride. Great for timed loops. Light technical parts throughout (switchbacks, loose smooth stone/gravel)
