Beautiful area
Elk Lake is beautiful with a great playground, and walking trails. Unfortunately when we went to go there the swimming area was closed due to a high count.
interesting walk around the lake or through the trails. pileated woodpeckers, herons, cormorants, turkey vultures, possible kingfisher. area ruined by dam at south end which has prevented proper drain...
We set out in the evening to get a bit of exercise from our hotel just down the road. A very pleasant walk right around the lake (10Km) but, not being from the area, we were not aware of sunset time....
Elk Lake is lovely all year round, but dress appropriately for the weather and pack some water. There are great trails and it’s multi-use, so you will see joggers, walkers, and horses!
The 10K trail around Elk & Beaver Lakes takes about 2 hours to traverse, but it's well worth it. The terrain is not arduous and the scenery is beautiful (except the bit adjacent to the highway).

Plan your timing to do the full walk.

Great For a Walk/Hike
