Lakeshore Trail

The trail is located between the Lake Vesuvius boat dock parking area and the dam spillway. The boardwalk provides a safe way to access the boat ramp from the fishing area and gets pedestrian traffic off the narrow winding road above the lake. Accessible parking is provided at the boat ramp and other parking at the spillway.
