Little Seneca Lake

The trails around the lake are open for hiking and mountain biking, which offer beautiful views over the water.

Osprey Heights

Highlight • Viewpoint

Osprey Heights is a short offshoot from the Ten Mile Creek Trail. It has good views over Little Seneca Lake, and yes, Osprey have been sighted in the area. If you keep your eyes towards the sky you may see them on the hunt, or at the very least spot a nest high in the treetops.

First bike ride since I broke my little right toe. I had no issues on the bike. Better than walking.
