Reviews
"Quiet trail, nice view of the lake on both sides, saw a bald eagle flying by. My kids really enjoyed the beach, lots of different rocks, the sizes and shapes change every 50 feet. Possibly a good fishing spot too, will try next time. If you walk along the beach towards the trailhead on your way back, it shouldn’t be hard to find a path that can get you up and back to the trail."
"One of Sycamore's most beautiful and most tragic properties. I would call this trail semi-public, in contrast to the wishes of the original donor for which it is named. The trail has basically been co-opted by the local (extremely wealthy) neighborhood. Most trails of the size and other nearby sycamore properties have at least 15 parking spots. The neighborhood lobbied to have it reduced to only five. The local neighborhood successfully moved to have it closed on weekends and holidays while they have private gated or walking access. Definitely a boon for property values for those houses. Originally open sunrise to sunset, now with limited hours which the neighborhood strictly enforces -- I have seen tow trucks waiting at the parking lot for the clock to hit 8. This property single-handedly changed my mind about donating to the sycamore land trust. That said, if you know someone who lives here or can sneak in during the "open" hours I highly recommend it."
"Great place to take a hike. It's an easy there and back. It has a few hills but overall pretty mellow trail. The views of the lake are well worth it. Lots or fossils and cool rocks."
"Lovely trail, not strenuous at all. Great sight seeing. Trail ends at a nice little clearing by the water, great for a little break and some stretches before heading back."
"Great hike after a light dusting of snow. I first came across the peninsula while boating in the summer and made a mental note to come back. It's a nice, easy hike not too far from town with some great views on any day."
