To approach the trail from its southern end, take SR 14 to SR 500 in Camas; turn north on SR 500 to NW Lake Rd. Take a left on Lake Rd. The boat launch/trailhead will be 0.3 miles further on the right. A large parking lot and restrooms are available here.
There is also a trailhead at the upper trail end at NE Goodwin Rd. and NW Underwood St. in Mill Plain.
This is a gorgeous trail along a calm lake. It's very popular, filled with people (many jogging) and dogs of all ages and sizes. The path is fairly narrow and overgrown over much of the trail as it is mainly a walking trail through the woods; it's also somewhat muddy (even in July) with little streams crossing it in a few places. Given the narrowness and popularity, this is NOT a good place to be biking; we made it work but constantly had to slow down and even wait a couple of times because people were coming and going and there just wasn't room to get around. I may go walking here sometime in the future but I will not take my bike again.
Has it all...great walking, jogging and biking. Enjoy trails with loved one and doggie. Love day park area for swimming, bbq and park for little ones. Thx Northwest! :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this scenic trail! A must do. The gravel path is more hard-packed dirt than gravel and very easy on the feet. The trail was as described with wildflowers and berries every where.
