Part of the Balls Trail loop passes through Eagles Nest Campground, before rejoining the natural tread trail around the lake. Watch for wildlife, large and small, from bald eagles and black bears to tiny toadlets in the undergrowth.

The Balls Lake Trail loops around the north end of the lake, then connects with the Eagles Nest Campground, before returning to the Balls Lake Picnic Area. You can start and end this hike from either the picnic area or the campground. Rubber boots or other waterproof footwear may be a good idea on this hike; parts of the trail are often quite wet. Watch for waterfowl on the lake, bald eagles in the trees, and terrestrial animals like black bears and black-tailed deer.
