Whitman Spring Road Trail -- North Gate

"A fav local place to walk…can go from either side if parking is tight at one spot. I enjoy the walk, great views of the lake."

"Great trail, well-padded down by foot traffic. Gentle incline in places. Great place for a walk, run, or bike right along the lake."

"This walk is along a straight, smooth dirt road, shaded by old growth forest, with much greenery and delicious air. To the left side going in is Lake Auburn, our water supply. It's a quiet path, despite the many visitors. It needs safer parking and a better entrance - the hill is awful, traffic is too close, the steep edge is hard on low cars, and it's dangerous for the elderly or infirm. A few benches along the path would be terrific. Today we saw a hummingbird sunning himself on a tree limb and I chatted with the chickadees. This was an easy late summer walk while the afternoon sun dappled us with warmth and the cool breeze refreshed us."

"Awesome trail with some fun history of the town as well:)"

"I run here all the time, there are markers every 1/4 of a mile so you can see just how far you've gone, from the first to last hate it's just over 2 miles. This isn't a place I feel necessarily safe though and would definitely recommend bringing a running/walking/cycling buddy with you. There are snakes a black bears that have been spotted on the trail, but no one has been harmed."
