Description:
From the Trail Website: Built in 2000 with a combination of government and privately donated funds (though no direct ratepayer dollars were spent), this scenic trail winds 2.5 miles through stately trees along the north shores of Lake Babcock and Lake North. The two lakes, located approximately two miles north of Columbus, Neb., are part of Loup's extensive hydroelectric generation facilities and public recreation offerings.

Two Lakes Trail, an eight-foot-wide concrete path, offers recreational opportunities for joggers, cyclists, runners, rollerbladers, walkers, bird watchers and nature enthusiasts; the trail meets ADA requirements. Two Lakes Trail was awarded the Millennium 2000 Community Trail Award.

For the adventurous at heart, the trail continues in a more natural state -- grass and gravel -- for another 4.5 miles circling the east, south and west sides of the two lakes. For the nature lover, Lake Babcock is home to the giant American Lotus, the furthest west colony of this flower found in the U.S. Two Lakes Trail is also a featured Volkswalk location for 2001.

Two Lakes Trail
By twirlymaker in October, 2009
Including the trail around North Lake it comes to 4.5 miles. Around the Lake you meet Fisherman. The Rail Trail goes through a camp ground and through majestic Cottonwood and Pine trees and across “Caster’s Crossing” ends at a dirt surface trail around South Lake, with bollards to close together for my Tri-Cruiser.
