Description: (From All-Trails: 4.7 stars) “Explore a beautiful route along Watson Lake with a variety of scenery to enjoy. By going clockwise on this loop, the challenging parts will be earlier on, with the last third of the circuit featuring a pleasant walk along the bike path. You will be walking through wildflowers and greenery, and the shade is a welcome change. There is very little shade on the route, and some places are not marked, so be prepared by downloading the offline map ahead of time. The views of the lake are beautiful and a must-see while in the area. ”
