Brief Trail Description

Pierce lake- 3.7 mile (around) Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 8 min to complete. This is a popular trail for birding, hiking, and horseback riding, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime.

Rock cut SP trail- 3.2 mile (around)Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 h 3 min to complete. This is a very popular area for birding, cross-country skiing, and hiking, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are April through October. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
