Bike: The 13.8 mile clockwise loop follows smooth paved county roads, with rolling to flat terrain and marked turns. Mile markers appear every two miles and staff or sheriff personnel mark key turns.
Run: The 5 km run is a loop that includes flat paved trails around the lake, unpaved park road sections, and a final finish across the lake dam.
