Lake Trail Details
Hugging the perimeter of Kendall Lake, this loop trail provides a beautiful survey of many of Cuyahoga Valley's thriving ecosystems. It leaves the lake's sunny shores, which are popular among swimmers and amateur anglers, and passes over a few small hills, including some that were once popular among tobogganers and sledders. Placards along the trail highlight the history and ecology surrounding the lake, and the lake's quieter coves often make excellent spots for watching the herons, blackbirds, and even the occasional beaver family that call the lake home.
