I love this trail it's so simple yet slightly intense if you are training for backpacking. A great trail overall
Nice average trail. Goes mostly through the woods. Turns to the lake couple times. There are four benches in the places with the views. Some mosquitoes, but not too crazy, our bug spray was able to handle it. Some areas were quite muddy and wet, if you want you can take extra shoes and socks. We ran into the bison right on the trail. Waited for an hour for him to move and then found the way around. Took us about 3 hours to finish.
3.5 hrs 13 mm hike. Beautiful hike
They should clean the snow of the tables and the fire pits. They should also plow the road through the park. Otherwise it is a good place to go for hikes and have picnics.
Elk island is an amazing place and this is just one of the gorgeous trails early morning hikes are best to avoid the crowd.
