Description:  0.4 mile trail to lake partially follows abandoned railroad grade.  Squires Lake loop is easy and pleasant. Take the more adventurous ridge trail or hike into the beaver pond ecosystem.  Take a moment to learn about the history of the area at two interpretive exhibits, or just take a peaceful rest at one of several benches at lakeside viewpoints.  Minimal equestrian amenities.

  • Squires Lake Loop: 0.9 miles
