Chickadee Trail: This half-mile trail begins behind the Park Store and leads through a pine forest to the shore of the lake. This is a great birdwatching trail. Green Heron Trail: This 3/4 mile loop begins at the park's visitor center and winds through a large field, which is great for bird-watching. A new feature for this trail is the wildlife viewing blind. Island Trail: This trail begins near the lodge and flows to the west end of the island for about a mile. Trail conditions are some-what hilly and shaded. A variety of trees and wildflowers make this trail enjoyable in any season. Shore birds and other wildlife can be seen along the lake edge. Also, many interesting rocks are scattered along the beach. Saginaw Historic Trail: This is the most beautiful of the five lake trails. This trail follows an old railroad bed used by the Saginaw Lumber Company around the turn of the century. The railroad bed is still visible in most area. Several small bridges and variations in the trail make this an interesting walk in any season. The trail begins near the dump station and is a short cut to the lake. Towering Pines Trail: This half-mile loop begins in the parking lot of the amphitheater. It is slightly hilly and is home for two streams, a strand of old pine trees and a sweet gum tree that is estimated at 100-150 years old. A mountain bike trail in this area is in the process of being approved. |
