A flat and scenic 4-mile loop around Cascade Lake with lean-tos, swimming spots, and a quiet forest setting. The trail is gentle enough for younger kids and provides several opportunities to stop at the lakeshore to skip rocks, wade, or have a snack. The lean-tos make great picnic shelters on rainy days. Combined with the nearby Moss Lake trail, families can easily fill a full day of exploring. The lake is popular with loons so keep your eyes and ears open.
