Lake Katherine Summer Hike, 2.4, 3.4 or 4.4 Miles

An easy walk for what is projected to be a nice day with temps in the high 70s, partially cloudy, humid, and dry day, with options to extend. We'll go east on the Cal-Sag Trail 1.2 miles to Ridgeland, turn around, and return to Lake Katherine. Then we'll walk around Lake Katherine which is an easy, flat, 1-mile loop a few times.

This is a great opportunity for new hikers or those who prefer shorter distances. The Cal-Sag Trail is paved and/or crushed stone and the path around the lake is mostly on nic soft mulch.

While there, you can check out the nature center. Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens is an 85-acre park that includes woodlands, prairie, wetlands, and a 10-acre lake. More info at :
