From the recreation area below the dam, the trail crosses Mill Creek on a suspension bridge and circles Standing Stone Lake, climbing a few short, steep grades between long stretches of lakeshore woods. It passes the boathouse and historic park structures, with the best water views near the dam end of the loop.
