Description

This is a short loop trail around Kendall Lake. Going clockwise you encounter some marshy terrain with cattails, wooded sections with a few small creeks, and a concrete tunnel that leads through a hill.

It is a fairly easy trail with some stairs that climb up and down the small elevation changes. Overall, this is a great short route that enables visitors to experience a variety of different terrain
