옴스테드 카운티 최고의 러닝 경로

호수 주변을 도는 멋진 루프 코스입니다. 보통 Pine Island에서 페달을 밟고 올 때 이 코스를 이용합니다.

JO IT ALL

I think this is a former quarry, at least when I first pedaled here maybe 10 years ago, it was fenced off and there were diggers and stuff around the lake. It's definitely at least a run off pond now. But it is a great point to loop around before heading back to Pine Island when doing the Douglas State Trail.

The bike trail was nice, but from looking at the map I thought we would be able to see the lake. Since there are big houses on the other side of the lake, I guess they didn't want people looking at them, so they built a big berm with trees on it that blocks the view of the water and the houses from the bike path.

There was a service going on when I pedaled by this last time, so didn't get to spend much time, I'll have to stop by the next time.

From this highlight on the east shore of Cascade Lake, you can access a dedicated pedestrian and bicycle system of trails southwest along the South Fork of the Zumbro River, southeast along Bear Creek, west to Silver Lake and Quarry Hill Park, and north to the Douglas State Trail.

Cascade Lake is part of the park of the same name and is located in the west of Rochester. There's a trail, called Cascade Creek Loop Trail, that leads around the lake and if that's not enough for you, you can extend around the neighboring lakes called Interlachen Lake and Manorwoods Lake.

Cascade Creek Trail follows the creek of the same name from Silver Lake to Cascade Lake (or the other way round) for over 3 miles. At the western end of the trail, you can see Cascade Creek flow into South Fork Zumbro River.
