Sylvan Lake Shore Trail

Sylvan Lake Shore Trail is a 1 mile hike that goes around the lake. Some parts of it are handicapped accessible. The trail at times goes up slight boulders and stairs and through a cool tunnel. You can also walk on some rocks to get to the top of the dam. Take some time and climb the boulders in the area and get a great view of the lake.  

Nice easy path around the lake for most of it except behind the rocks.

Old stairs near the dam.

Osprey caught a fish. Pretty cool.

Walking on the back side of the lake - a little of a climb.

Lots of stairs down to the back of the dam.

Doing new construction as of May 2025 - parts of the trail are rerouted.

The Sunday Gulch Trail begins behind the dam.

Winter time is still beautiful and not as crowded.
