Standing Bear Lake has many miles of paved trails and picnic areas. It is named after Ponca leader Chief Standing Bear. The lake is also open to fishing and kayaking.

Running

This is a great, mostly flat run. There are some small, barely noticeable hills. The only significant incline is over the dam, which is also gradual. There are great views of the lake and plenty of wooded areas on the path, too. All and all, a good run. Be prepared for some sun exposure, though. It's barely shady on the trail.
