The Lake Loop Trail is a moderate difficulty, 5.7 mile trail for hiking and biking, that closely follows the shore around the lake. The trail makes brief diversions along the ridges and away from the lake shore, where it connects to the Ridge and CCC trails. This relatively wide trail features numerous changes in elevation along with a fair share of sharp turns and switchbacks resulting in constantly changing vistas of the lake and surrounding mountains. Shady thickets of Rhododendron, dense leafy forest, and cool creek beds along with the abundant wildlife, make this this trail an interesting and ever-changing panorama.
