The trail around Lake Elizabeth might sound like the perfect family hike, especially for toddlers or other family members with limited mobility.
Unfortunately, the trail doesn't see regular maintenance, and it's not uncommon to see multiple trees down. It is brushy, prone to flooding, and hard to follow in places. The biggest concern is the bridge across Money Creek, which you must cross in order to complete the loop around the lake. It is rotten, slick and tilting towards the creek below. During the rainy season this can be a dangerous crossing.
