Lake Nottely Hiking Trails

A Man Holding A CompassConsidered a easy route this 2.5 mile loop trail that has a elevation gain of 262 ft and is a great trail for hiking, mountain biking, & running. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. There are stoping points and rest benches with beautiful views of the lake. There are also quite a few spots to jump in the water for a swim if you desire! Everyone should bring water on this hike and if you plan on jumping in the water at the lake bring a towel! In the spring keep an eye out for the illusive pink lady’s slipper. This is an orchid that is native to the area and it requires acidic soil. You can also see wild turkeys and white-tailed deer passing through the woods.
