The Lake Shore Trail, also known as the Clopper Lake Shore Trail, is a scenic 3.7-mile loop encircling Clopper Lake within Seneca Creek State Park in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Marked with blue blazes, this moderately rated trail offers continuous views of the lake, traversing through woodlands and open fields. Along the route, hikers will cross several bridged streams and have opportunities to observe wildlife such as waterfowl, herons, turtles, and fish. The trail also provides access points for fishing and connects with other trails in the park, including the Mink Hollow Trail and the Seneca Creek Greenway Trail .
