About This Trail

[Total: 0    Average: 0/5]

This trail is either 4 miles out and back, or you can have a car parked at both ends and make it a 2 mile hike. The trail is fairly flat with a few small inclines. It borders Evergreen Lake with views of the lake along the way. It is partially wooded and partially through open fields. The grassy areas were mowed very low and the entire trail was very well maintained.

Hike it Baby Trail Guide is managed by the Family Trail Guide team. If a trail has been “abandoned” by the initial owner, it gets adopted by the team. Also, if there are no trails in the area, the Family Trail Guide team researches trails that are family friendly in the area to insure that hikes cover all areas where Hike it Baby hikes.
