Lake Irene Trail
Description:
The Lake Irene Trail travels around Lake Irene.
There are about .5 miles of trails in the area and around the lake. Two trails
leave the parking area; one from the north side near a Park Service building
and another from the south side near some picnic tables. The trail from the
north travels through the trees down to the north side of the lake. The south
trail descends to the southeast edge of the lake. Both trails join a loop
trail around the lake. This is a very easy trail to hike.
