Trail Description:
This is a short wooded trail on the south side of Bon Tempe lake with
enticing views of the lake as it meanders through the redwoods and Madrones.
There were few flowers in bloom, but the scenery and occasional bird views
made up for the loss. As this trail is only a mile and a half, a good
addition might be a lake loop, starting with the "Sunnyside" trail in the
cooler weather.
Trail Location:
See the park page for directions.
