Trail Description:This is a short trail which kind of runs around Cochrane lake.
We walked down the asphalt lane, then west along the gravel road, and finally back down to the lake.
There is a bit of a "cut line" type path around the rest of the lake to the West end. However right now it is overgrown with thistle. The water when it was high killed trees right at the edge of the path. The ice then pushed them over. so it can use with some cleaning up, but is easily walk able by an able bodied person.
But my daughter was wearing shorts, and did not enjoy the thistle scratching her legs, so we turned back. |
