John English Memorial Trail
About This Trail
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.
