One of Lake Murray State Park's primary trails, this is a 6.3mi. round trip hike. It is child and dog-friendly (as long as they are leashed), and fairly easy in terms of terrain. North Anadarche crosses the lake via footbridges, and you may spot deer or other local wildlife.
The second of the main trails, this one comes in at 3.4mi. A great basic trail that follows the lake, Buckthorn is family-friendly. Nature spotting and bird watching are both possible along the route.
Leave the Lake Murray State Park cabins behind and head out on this 2.4mi trail, out and back, in a tranquil forest setting. This one is a great route for hikers and trail runners alike.
