Lake Glendale Trail Details
This flat and easy trail is a great jumping-off point for exploring the lake. It encircles the shore and offers almost 3 miles of scenic beauty. There are a few creek crossings, which can make the trail muddy after heavy rainfall, although the rest of the trail is well-maintained and ideal for walkers and families. Best of all, you will get to enjoy unobstructed views of the water the entire way. In the summer, the lake can become quite crowded with boaters and anglers, although the trail remains relatively open so you can enjoy the landscape in peace.
