Oak Lake Connector Trail is a shared-use path around the edge of Oak Lake Park in northwest Lincoln, Nebraska. The trail continues where the Salt Creek Levee Trail leaves off, beginning at Haymarket Park, the home of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Although most of the route parallels Charleston Street and N. 1st Street, there are pleasant views to be had of Salt Creek, Oak Lake and the surrounding terrain. At the park, trail users can enjoy many activities, including picnicking, fishing and boating.
The Oak Lake Trail has parking that can be accessed on Charleston Street, near the Sun Valley Boulevard intersection. There is also another parking lot on Charleston, close to Cornhusker Highway.
It provides a quick way to get from UNL campus to the Highlands, where several of my buddies live. As a biker, I appreciate that it’s paved. I also like it runs next to Oak Lake, although I wish it provided an alternative route around the lake to get some extra scenery. It is also my opinion that this could and should be the same trail as N. 1st St. Trail, but they decided to separate these two by a small section of sidewalk. Oh well.
