Part of Trailside Museums and Zoo’s monthly hiking series. A relatively flat loop across multiple trails at Lake Skanatati.

Total Hike Length: 3.15miles
Estimated time: 2.5 hours

This (3+Mile) loop will have us on three different trails. We will start on Long Path trail (blazed blue-green) switching to the Yellow Blazed Dunning trail and finally finishing off with the Red Blazed Arden Surebridge Trail. We will park at the Skanattati lake parking area. The trail is rocky with some short elevation gains. There are a few sections of the trail that routinely flood, social trails have developed that allow us to skirt these flooded sections but the possibility of wet and muddy conditions is high. We will pause and investigate some of the open pit mines next to the pine swamp.
