The coolest part of the course is a tricky bridge crossing over the Big Wood River right at the beginning.

Many people walk the bridge because of the tight spaces and frequent traffic.

The area is mostly wide open terrain. The Riverside Trail hugs the water, and the more difficult blue trails are higher up.

There are a total of nearly 10 miles (15.5 kilometers) of trails in the Lake Creek system. Riverside is the only trail rated green, or easy, and its a tough green at that.

There are some great views of the river near the end of the trail. If you return via a loop you will end up on a blue trail; you'll have to retrace your route if you want to remain on a green trail.

The Lake Creek Trailhead. Cross-country skiing is the only winter recreation allowed in this area.
